American Artist and eel campaigner Stephanie Bowman is touring New Zealand to raise awareness regarding the longfin eel’s biological and cultural significance in order to save it from extinction.
Stephanie is working with groups in New Zealand and beyond to create a looooooooooong eel appliqué tapestry that will be displayed in public spaces throughout New Zealand.
See how your school, class, group, family, etc. can be involved in creating a section of this ‘Traveling Tuna Tapestry’ for display all around New Zealand. Our goal is to make it long enough to wrap around the Beehive, sail it to Tonga, later return each section to the people who made it to keep as a korowai, and have the eels get national media attention!”

Hi Stephanie
I think your book is awesome! Im a lover of longfinn eels and we’re lucky to have some on our patch in Wellington. Im a teacher and Ive brought several groups of children to view them and to learn about these amazing creatures.
