Stop Fishing Industry Sea Lion Deaths
Greenpeace has started a petition calling on Parliament to immediately reinstate the Fishing Related Mortality Limit (FRML), the official limit for ‘acceptable’ deaths of pakake, the New Zealand sea lion.
Why is this important?
Pakake, the New Zealand sea lion is the world’s rarest sea lion and an endangered species. There are only 10,000 and live around the remote sub-antarctic Auckland Islands. The population is in decline in the sub-antarctic after a 23% decline in pup numbers in the 2022/2023 season.

Selling my beloved Canon 400mm 2.8L
I've just upgraded my go-to surf photography lens and so my current lens is available. It's a Canon 400mm f/2.8L IS USM – this is the image-stabilised version of the world's best lens. This is the lens needed for anyone wanting to shoot professional sports, surfing, wildlife etc. It's an amazing bit of kit. Comes with its hood, lens cover, lens case, camo lens cover and all in good condition. Glass is in superb condition and still delivers crisp photos every time.
