Pete Woodward is a senior member of the regular volunteer crew at the Kapiti Coastguard, acting as Communications Officer. He is on call 24/7. As Fundraising Officer for Kapiti Coastguard, he has overseen the raising of more than $300,000 for operation and capital expenditure. He was one of the main instigators to promote the replacement of the local Coastguard Rescue Vessel, campaigning for more than four years to raise $200,000. The boat is now under construction and will provide assistance to recreational boat users and also offer support for the increasing tourist traffic to and from Kapiti Island Sanctuary.
