Protesters say the marina endangers a nearby colony of kororā.
Environmentalists demonstrating against a marina being built on Waiheke Island are taking their protest to the doorstep of Auckland Council on Friday.
Protect Pūtiki have been occupying the construction site of Kennedy Point Marina for more than 120 days.
They say the marina endangers a nearby colony of kororā (little blue penguin) and the council never should have granted resource consent for the project.
Protect Pūtiki spokesperson Emily Weiss says protesters want to show the council "how many of us are opposed to this, how many of our iwi, our Māori don't agree with the resource consent that Auckland Council granted, and need them to step in urgently".
