Ahu Moana is a volunteer‑led ecological survey group exploring coastal and marine environments around Aotea / Great Barrier Island. The group helps increase community understanding of local marine biodiversity through regular surveys and shared findings.

The Aotea Trap Library loans free rat traps to residents and community projects across Aotea / Great Barrier Island to help track and reduce invasive pest populations in support of native wildlife protection. Trappers contribute catch data to inform conservation efforts.
