Both carports are 3m x 6m x 2.7m

MAKE AN OFFER– all considered in light of recent floods and predicaments people in this region are in. (Cost was $465 each)

AS IS and SELLING AS A BUNDLE: They are all jumbled up together. Used for one week only, then stored under bench for the last 4-5 years (see pictures). Some velcro ties have ripped off and some poles dented. Otherwise, there should be two full sets.

I used them to store hay – would need tying down if in windy spot. Also used for events and as extra space.

Picture is example from original purchase, plus where they were placed and where stored.

The island nation of New Zealand claims guardianship over a vast ocean territory. In fact, our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) spans 15 times our land area. Despite this, less than 1% of our ocean is highly protected.

Sheridan Waitai, member of One Oceania, argues that New Zealand is failing its obligations, and our failure is being noticed internationally.

Sheridan and others argue that the health of our oceans is declining as they face climate change, overfishing, and pollution. While other nations are championing ocean protection, New Zealand has been quiet on this topic.

We want to know: Are we meeting our responsibilities in the management of our blue territory?
