What other jobs have you done?
When on land I am a winemaker, and I'm involved in Treaty of Waitangi-based activism. The treaty is one of the founding documents of Aotearoa. It is a treaty between Maori - the indigenous people and the British crown. Signed in 1840, its place in our history has been controversial.
How did you come to be on this Rainbow Warrior for this trip?
Last year I was fortunate enough to be involved in this campaign, and coming out on the Rainbow Warrior again is an amazing privilege. To be here following through on work we did last year is both challenging and rewarding. With the support we have been getting back on land it feels that we are having real effect and hopefully the deep sea will soon get the protection it so urgently needs.
Essential survival item for spending time on the Rainbow Warrior?
The good people that are on board, their energy, aroha, determination, laughter and smiles.
If you were a fish, which one would you be?
I'd love to be a blue Maomao. These small fish are the brightest fluorescent blue, and if you know where to go you can stand in knee deep waves and they play around your ankles. Any fish that has the courage to stand out so much and come close to humans deserves a lot of admiration and respect.
