Aere mai tātou on Saturday 19 July from 2pm at Aroʻa Beach (next to the Rarotongan Hotel) for a fun, family beach day organised by Ocean Ancestors—a collective of individuals, NGOs, and businesses united by a shared passion for protecting the ocean.
Bring a picnic, dress up as a sea creature, enjoy music, even sing along, and be part of a global event calling for a moratorium on Deep Sea Mining (DSM). Be there before 4pm for a group photo and drone footage to share with participants worldwide.
And we are excited to have the well-travelled mascot, Tumu (aka Otto), one of several giant inflatable pink octopuses, for you to meet and, what a great photo opportunity! But why an octopus? And a pink one – huh?
