Meet the crew.

Tane is a 24-year-old content creator from Aotearoa with a big love for adventure and an even bigger love for the ocean. He picked up a quirky 8.5-metre lifeboat, and he's got a wild idea: circumnavigate Aotearoa and create a movement for marine conservation along the way.

Adventure has been in Tane's blood since day one. Raised by his mum Fiona, he grew up tagging along on scuba diving trips around Aotearoa and the Pacific. They never stayed in fancy resorts. They stayed with locals, slept on floors, and soaked up the raw, real experience.

At 17 he left school with no roadmap and reached out to marine conservationist Pete Bethune. Before he knew it he was on a ship in Seattle with Earthrace Conservation. He was the youngest on board by 15 years, learning everything from welding to navigation, diving in freezing black water and raising funds for the mission.

From there he worked on superyachts for three years, building the foundation to take a big leap. In the last two years he's put every penny into telling stories that matter, building an owned audience of 110,000+ followers and reaching 26.2 million views across three solo case studies, with no team and no paid media.

Current Cause is what comes next. He sees himself as the connector, linking those doing the work with the people and resources that can help them go further.
