We have successfully secured funding for an exciting project: He Kāinga Taurikura o Tangitū: Treasured Coastal Environment.

This project is focussed on our kuku reef at Tangoio, a taonga that is under threat largely due to human activities. This project has three phases, click here for more info.

This project will support our tangata kaitiaki who manage customary permits in our takiwā.

This is a collaborative project with NIWA and is funded by Ko Ngā Moana Whakauka – Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge and Te Kūwaha (NIWA’s National Centre for Māori Environmental Research).

Sustainable Seas includes Mātauranga Māori informing and underpinning Ecosystem Based Management for Aotearoa. Many other coastal hapū and iwi are keen to learn about our project so join us and together we will make it a success!

Tihei Tangitū!
