Reports from the field

Protecting the park includes keeping our shores clean and free from waste. The amount of trash reaching such a remote park is hard to ignore.

Help keep our environment clean by reducing single-use plastics and disposing of trash properly.

UPDATE: We’ve updated the video to show how conditions changed as the tide came in.

The first 10 seconds were taken at 7:50 AM, while the next part was taken at 9:17 AM.

Reports from the field

The tide will be 1.9meters high at 9:16 today. ATM it looks like this, not yet at its highest. On our 38th anniversary as a marine protected area, we still face this challenge. Help us call on the heavens to send us people, opportunities, and funds to finish our new ranger station so we can move our rangers to safety!!!
