After returning home to his ancestral land in the Hokianga, Will Stensness witnessed the wide spread pollution of the Whirinaki River and the Hokianga harbour. For many years Will has, and still is, battling to clean up both the river and the harbour.

Brett Collett has produced a video on Will's efforts - watch the video on You Tube or visit the Kaitiakitanga Network website to read more about the Hokianga Harboucare initiative.
