MAANZ has many objectives which are listed within this site, our main objective is to be a voice for our Maritime Heritage. Each year many relics and artifacts that reflect our Maritime Heritage are lost forever. Members of MAANZ are working together as an Association and also many in their own right to bring about a change.
