OceansWatch needs financial support to undertake its projects so we invite donations of any item that might help us, either directly (boats, computers etc) or indirectly (items that can be sold). We are registered as a 501 c 3 in the USA and as a charity in New Zealand so your donation could be tax deductible.
On behalf of the people in the developing countries that we serve we are also interested in donations of the following items:
Axes
Fishing lures
Mossie netting
- School supplies
Reading glasses
Shorts and T shirts
Hammers and saws
- Adzes for canoe building
Snorkels, masks and fins
Plywood for school desks
Rope (not polypropylene)
Fish hooks (not too small)
Shake or wind up torches
- Antiseptic for skin infections
Plasters, bandages and dressings
These items can be sent to our New Zealand or North America offices.
If you have larger items to donate please contact the appropriate office first.
