A petition calling for government to hold to account the owners and insurers of the Rena will be launched tonight at Mount Drury.
The petition launch will start at 4.45pm and go through to about 5.30pm.
Tauranga City Council Mayor Stuart Crosby said he supports the removal of the wreck
and the petition launch, although cannot make it due to prior commitments.
"I have been consistent in my view that the Rena should be totally removed and a realistic sum of money be set aside by either the owner or insurer for ongoing Environmental Monitoring and clean ups," he said.
The launch will be hosted by Pat Spellman who will also read the Mayor's statement.
