Saviours of the Sea
- Words by Peppermint
Shockingly, there are only 55 Maui dolphins remaining off the waters of New Zealand’s North Island, and only a few hours left to sign a petition to help save this rarest of dolphin species from extinction. This is just one of a range of marine conservation projects supported by designer Miranda Brown and the Free the Sea T-shirt campaign, which will officially launch in May. A range of custom tees made from 100% organic, biodegradable materials will soon be available to purchase online with $5 from every sale going to Forest & Bird, Project Jonah and Enviroschools. Fight the good fight and help free the sea!
