Kaipara Moana Remediation Programme

The Kaipara Moana Remediation Programme is a New Zealand-based programme focused on harbour restoration. With a team of four employees, the programme aims to be a model for collaborative environmental management. The Kaipara Moana Remediation Programme works to restore the health and cultural significance of Kaipara Moana, a significant harbour in New Zealand. The programme is driven by a vision to restore and protect the life force of the Kaipara Moana, ensuring its importance is recognized by those who live in the region and throughout New Zealand. This ambitious undertaking involves multiple stakeholders, including the Ministry for the Environment, Northland Regional Council, Auckland Council, Ngā Maunga Whakahī o Kaipara, Te Uri o Hau, and Te Runanga o Ngāti Whātua. Guided by four key principles, or "Pou," the programme addresses the unique challenges and opportunities facing the Kaipara Moana. This holistic approach emphasizes collaboration and integrated solutions to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the harbour. The programme represents a significant shift towards generational change in environmental management practices. For more information, visit kmr.org.nz.
