Conservation Week

 Rain racing to wash out plastic into te moana.


As Ika we struggle 

With the human community

They pollute our moana


We want to swim like we used to


We get pulled to the ocean floor 

shiny sand turned into a dark palace of plastic


Ika are strangled 

We cry or fly to fish heaven 

Painful plastic in our stomachs


The ocean’s a stage for plastic

A quarter of ngå ika are dead


Moana’s floors covered in parahitiki (plastic)
