Projects

The Waitotara River Monitoring Project enables primary school students to investigate and monitor the changes of the Waitotara River over the course of a year.

I Whio that I could live here is a weaving of mātauranga (knowledge, wisdom, understanding, skill) and Western science focused on the hauora (health, vigour) and wairua (spirit, soul) of the Kaupokonui River.

Students will monitor two sites for invertebrates and vegetation, and record environmental factors to assess the restoration work on Taranaki’s riparian margins and in wetland ecosystems.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga will carry out a comprehensive estuarine assessment in the Urenui and Mimitangiatua estuaries and aim to establish what current and future threats may impact on the health of these important coastal areas.
