title: The restoration of native aquatic plants

authors: Hofstra, Deborah

abstract: I am very pleased to be here today because I have the privilege of speaking about a good news story, that being the restoration of native aquatic plants instead of weeds. I will start by looking at what native aquatic plants look like, touch on species and communities, and talk about their benefits. You have heard some of this already from Max and Tracey, but we are now going to look at actions for restoration and then move on to outcome examples.

title: Understanding ‘higher’ Māori fertility in a ‘low’ fertility context: Does cultural identity make a difference?

authors: Rarere, Moana

subjects: Maori fertility

abstract: The Māori fertility transition brought an end to decades of very high fertility rates, and a convergence towards long-term fertility levels similar to Pākehā/New Zealand European women. However, important differences endure. The Māori total fertility rate (TFR) remains above replacement level, and Māori women have children earlier and over a longer period. All of this has and still is occurring in a society that facilitates and favours low fertility and small family sizes. Using births data and cultural identity markers in the New Zealand Census, this paper explores the influence of culture as a contributing factor to higher fertility outcomes amongst Māori women in a low-fertility society.
