@tinangata starts the kōrero, speaking on plastic pollution, #indigenousrights and the #treaty

“Good science considers context”
In Aotearoa - a big blue land - we have access to 3000+ years of marine knowledge
Yet our ability to grow a science sector in a Te Tiriti/Treaty context is a challenge
Vision Mātauranga is shifting how we carry out good science in Aotearoa
@UN4Indigenous have recommended that indigenous peoples are included fully meaningful and effective in the decision-making processes for tackling marine litter and pollution. For doing good science, indigenous knowledge, practices and innovations must be centred
Science outside the context of social justice has played a role in the justification of environmental degradation eg fossil fuel pipelines. Our science must never be used to visit injustice on anyone. Science and human rights gaps still exist today
Our science must be for good.
What do we have to do right now to be responsive to social justice in marine science in Aotearoa? A Te Tiriti centred science approach? #NZMSS2021
One example happening today is Aotearoa Impacts & Mitigation of Microplastics. They produced a report that explores best practice led by Te Tiriti and WAI262 and they champion these practices at an international level
Growing relationships with integrity is critical to do good science in Aotearoa. Kia ora @tinangata #NZMSS2021

And lastly, we are hearing from @DanaClark_NZ about new techniques to help improve monitoring of our estuaries @Cawthron_NZ #NZMSS2021
It can be really expensive in money and time to take samples and process them eg sort the marine creatures and identify the species. Is there an alternative?
Dana’s research looked at eDNA metabarcoding as a technique to detect nutrient enrichment based on DNA of species/communities in the environment.

And now for #seaweed with Rob Major @Cawthron_NZ #NZMSS2021
Why seaweed? It can mitigate pollution, provide habitat for marine life, support fish popns and reduce climate impacts #loveseaweed
There is hype behind seaweed: It is being sold as a silver bullet to the worlds problems. We don’t want to overdeliver so how can we achieve a seaweed sector? The answer is #EcosystemBasedManagement or #EBM
