World Wetlands Day 2024

To celebrate World Wetland Day, we present He Kura Kūkūwai, He Kura Ika Waitī: The Treasures of the Wetlands, The Treasured Fish of the Freshwaters. It's a culmination of research undertaken by Ngāti Kuia and supported by Te Kaunihera o Te Tai o Aorere | Tasman District Council as part of the Freshwater Improvement Fund.
The research enabled whānau to obtain and restore mātauranga for their people as kaitiaki and revitalisation of their cultural practises regarding the repo and taonga species. The repo is of great significance to Māori who have always known its immense value and function within the taiao of Aotearoa.
