Anyone with an interest in the future of Whangateau Harbour is invited to a community hui at the Whangateau Hall on Saturday, October 5, from 11am to 2pm.
The event is being organised by the Whangateau HarbourCare Group, in partnership with Manuhiri Kaitiaki Charitable Trust and the Leigh Marine Laboratory.
Guest speakers will cover the cultural and ecological importance of the harbour, and what science research and mātauranga Māori can tell about its health and how it is changing.
Organisers says there will be opportunities to meet passionate community groups working in the harbour catchment, hear about the work they are doing and ask questions.
Whangateau catchment facilitator Alicia Bullock says there will also be time set aside to share local knowledge, where the community can share observations, insights and aspirations, which are all vital to this kaupapa.
“This hui is intended to start an important conversation – kicking off the development of a community-led action plan for the Whangateau Harbour and its catchment,” Bullock says.
“We hope as many interested people as possible will join us.”
