First speaker in today’s session is Waiaria Rameka, here to tell stories about her mahi in Māori Cultural Health Indicators (MCHI) theory and practice through the exploration of maramataka Image
Ehara i te numa noa
Not just a number
MCHI = a tool to ‘stick to the man’ but they created roadblocks—maps! Square peg into round hole
These spaces were difficult to navigate because the tool and maps didn’t represent or describe cultural values Image
Square peg round hole is not acceptable, it’s happened to mātauranga Māori for too long. So they waited….
….for years until one day they heard of others using maramataka Image
And Ngā Tohu came to life….this project aims to reclaim maramataka knowledge and practice to advance MCHI sustainableseaschallenge.co.nz/our-research/n…
Wānanga (lots and lots!) have been used to develop ability to observe ngā tohu. And produce ngā kaupeka (baseline). Maramataka is on a 3 year cycle not 1 year! Image
Key learning: wānanga and hui are spaces for analysis. Kia ora Waiaria! Image
Amazing kōrero from project co-leader Waiaria at today's #NZMSS2021 session, great to hear about evolving research methodologies (wānanga and hui as spaces for analysis) and how MCHI for Tauranga are being developed @NZMarineSociety

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
