Since 2020, GOPI has organised a number of events where restoration planting has been carried out around the shores Pauatahanui Inlet. This programme of revegetation could not have been achieved without the help of teams of volunteers and the support of organisations like Rotary and Porirua City Council. The initiative was kicked started with the help of a 2020 DOC Community Fund of almost 42 thousand dollars and sustained with subsequent grants from Greater Wellington. Our appreciation for all supporters goes without saying and here we show you what that support has achieved.

Below, these pairs of images are the visible and significant evidence of the changes that have occurred in shoreline development since the first plantings were carried out at each location.
