Coastal areas are significant to Māori both spiritually and as a source of food, weaving and carving materials. People have reduced the coast’s natural values and its ability to provide food and other resources but there are many things we can do to help restore our coasts and respect Māori customs and practices.
The main objective of the coastal marine information database is to collate all available coastal and marine information for the Waikato region into one single source of information, freely available as a resource for government agencies, researchers, consultancies and the general public. The database is not regarded as being complete and is updated as new information becomes available.
