Phase I research
During 2014–2019, we increased our knowledge about our coasts and oceans, produced new tools for marine management, built relationships with stakeholders and Māori partners, and developed the concept of EBM for Aotearoa.
During 2014–2019, we increased our knowledge about our coasts and oceans, produced new tools for marine management, built relationships with stakeholders and Māori partners, and developed the concept of EBM for Aotearoa.
We identified ways for people to get involved in making decisions about the management and future of Aotearoa New Zealand's marine estate.
MoreWe developed ways to measure the values New Zealanders have for the marine environment.
MoreWe investigated how human activities and environmental change can affect marine ecosystems.
MoreWe developed and trialled tools to support EBM. These tools help us understand how management decisions can affect marine environments.
MoreWe worked with Māori to capture their needs and aspirations for marine management, and to unlock the potential of mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), resources and people.
MoreWe looked at how EBM might be implemented and what changes will be needed to implement EBM in the future.
MoreWe explored ways to assess the values New Zealanders hold for the marine environment.
MoreWe developed new ways to measure and map the ecosystem services provided by marine ecosystems.
MoreWe have developed a near real-time forecasting tool for Tasman and Golden Bays to help predict when aquaculture sites and beaches are safe t…
MoreWe investigated whether generating electricity from the strong tidal currents within Cook Strait is viable for Aotearoa New Zealand.
MoreWe trialled two innovative technologies to detect and monitor harmful algal blooms in coastal waters
MoreWe collaborated with Māori communities to review scientific information that may support the expression of kaitiakitanga and other kaupapa t…
MoreWe traced the fate of water and sediments from land through coastal food webs, evaluating connections between coastal and deep sea habitats,…
MoreWe investigated how mātauranga and tikanga Māori and New Zealand law can be applied in the marine estate.
MoreWe have examined mātauranga Māori associated with the marine environment by analysing key texts, historical archives, literature, reports an…
MoreThis project aims to help the Kaikōura community and businesses build a sustainable blue economy as they recover from the 2016 earthquakes.
MoreWe developed a culturally-relevant pathway to enable mana whenua iwi to evaluate and contribute to management of Aotearoa New Zealand’s mari…
MoreWe explored and developed innovative governance tools for the marine environment while enhancing relationships between Māori, the Government…
MoreWe investigated the effects that suspended sediment from human activities has on the health and survival of deep water species in the South …
MoreWe are investigating how historical and contemporary changes to sedimentation and bottom contact fishing may influence fisheries in Tasman B…
MoreWe investigated how well submarine canyons transport materials from the land into deeper waters surrounding Aotearoa New Zealand.
MoreWe have developed an innovative way to detect species in the sea using environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples.
MoreWe investigated how coastal waters and oceans mix and transport materials that can stress marine ecosystems.
MoreWe investigated the concept of a digital repository to manage mātauranga Māori gathered by the Challenge.
