By perpetuating the mauri and wairua (life force
and spirit) of “Te Tai o Marokura”, (Kaikoura region)
we as kaitiaki (guardians) of Tangaroa’s täonga (the
ocean's treasures) are leading the community to achieve a
flourishing, rich and healthy environment where opportunities
abound to sustain the needs of present and future generations.

The launch of Te Korowai o Te Tai o Marokura draft marine Strategy August 2011 was held on Thursday, 1 September 2011.
Submissions have now closed, we received more than 160 submissions and Te Korowai has already begun the process of analysing the submissions received. Expect to see some results here on the website from about April 2012.
A Public presentation by NIWA
on the Kaikoura Canyon was held in the
Kaikoura Memorial Hall and was attended by
about 200 people, with great questions and answers.
A 2 hour video of that presentation is available if you contact Ted Howard (tktreasurertedhow@gmail.com).
A short part of that presentation was a video of the canyon floor which is now available
on the NIWA Site http://www.niwa.co.nz/our-science/aquatic-biodiversity-and-biosecurity/news/featured/kaikoura-canyon-seabed-life.
