Te mana o te moana organized a lot of activities to celebrate its 5th anniversary. Among these activities, te mana o te moana was featured in the documentary “Wild missions” by European productions society, together with a famous French singer – Nadiya.
The production director, José Fosse, wished to emphasize the importance of nature preservation through conservation and educational activities of te mana o te moana.
During a whole special week, Nadiya took part in organised activities:
- sea turtle care in the Sea Turtle Clinic and release in the wild,
- coral monitoring,
- educational programs with local schools
- beach clean-up day
The beach clean-up was organised together with a hundred kids from Maiao, an isolated island located 75 km southwest of Moorea and one of the Windward Islands of French Polynesia.
This action was coordinated by a local NGO POIHERE IA MAIAO working on nature conservation. About 8m3 of waste were collected along 500 meters of the coastline.
Educators from te mana o te moana also delivered an educational program on sea turtles with “Honu toolkit” to the children of Maiao.
