Kia ora, welcome to Friends of Mana Island

Volunteers helping restore Mana Island’s ecology

 

 

Mana Island is a predator-free island in New Zealand. It is off the coast of Porirua in the North Island.

Friends of Mana Island (FOMI) is a volunteer group formed in 1998.

We provide support for the Department of Conservation to restore the ecology of Mana Island, in collaboration with Ngāti Toa as tangata whenua.
