I love our oceans, I love to scuba dive, and I love to sail. Protecting marine mammals and stopping seabed mining have been priorities for me. In opposition, I led the campaign that ended shark finning in New Zealand, I persuaded the previous Government to become a party to the successful International Court of Justice illegal whaling case, and, working with Pew, I launched the campaign to create the Kermadec Marine Reserve—but that one's still a work in progress.
