Te Au o Te Moana | Special webinar series: He Waka Taurua – navigating dual worldviews to strengthen the voice of the ocean

This webinar was presented by Shaun Awatere, Dan Hikuroa, Ian Ruru and Caine Taiapa, April 2022 (40 mins + 25 mins Q&A).

Mātauranga Māori is increasingly informing science policy and natural resource management approaches in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This webinar reflects on the question – what is mātauranga Māori?

Our panel of Kairangahau Māori discussed the opportunities and barriers for the integration of science and mātauranga Māori to support hapū/iwi marine management priorities and strengthen the voice of our ocean.
