Join TMBC as an Organisation

I/we are joining forces to:

• Grow biosecurity awareness and social license, including running joint campaigns

• Build visibility of great things happening and promoting initiatives/events

• Advocate for better biosecurity for our region

• Catalyse action – people getting involved

• Collaborate to achieve better results, sharing information and lessons

• Seize opportunities that will grow the regional team committed to biosecurity excellence.

I/we are committed to ‘leading and taking collaborative action towards biosecurity excellence’ as members of Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital (TMBC). Biosecurity is important to everything I/we love about Tauranga Moana - our people, our culture, our local industries, economy, businesses and jobs, our forests, our waterways, our moana. Biosecurity is fundamental to the Māori cultural economy and who we are – our whakapapa, our whanaungatanga, and mana taiao (our connection to, and role as kaitiaki for, our environment).

I/we recognise pests and diseases can devastate our region and that it takes a community to successfully tackle biosecurity threats – that we all need to be vigilant and play our part, whether that’s in our ngahere, at the Port, in our orchards and farms, in our back yard, or out on the water.
