The Pacific Islands need your unwanted sea gear!
We’re delighted to be supporting Let Them Fish in lending a hand – and fishing rod – to people in need in the Pacific Islands. Have any good diving/fishing gear that you no longer need? Simply drop it off into your local Let Them Fish collection point. From there, the team will see that the fishing supplies are sent to remote settlements and villages that rely on fishing for survival.
What’s the issue?
The Pacific Islands were hit hard by COVID-19, with the pandemic bringing tourism income to a halt. The Let Them Fish team are supporting villages who, due to poverty and food insecurity, are having to depend on fishing to put food on the table.
How can you help?
If you have any fishing and/or diving gear that you no longer want – such as hand lines, fishing rods, spear guns, wetsuits, dive booties, masks, snorkels and fins – the Pacific Islands are the perfect destination for it. Just drop your donation off at either:
- Wettie Spearfishing & Wetsuits, 6 Arrenway Drive, Albany.
- Outboard Boating Club, 7 Tamaki Drive, Parnell.
Your generous donation will then be processed and sent off to locations such as Fiji and Tonga, where Let Them Fish have already supported over 50 families with approximately 700kg of donated gear over multiple shipments.
