The Kōrero Tuku Iho project provides a pathway for Kaipara Uri, iwi/hapū, marae, whānau and communities to explore their stories, memories, histories, values and understanding of the natural world and places of significance associated with the Kaipara Moana catchment as inspiration for the reduction of sedimentation. Through this process, Kōrero Tuku Iho will enable these communities to contribute to the regeneration and protection of the mauri of Kaipara Moana.

Whakatauira / Case studies

The project is now seeking Expressions of Interest for two further whakatauira / case studies. The purpose of each of the three whakatauira is to gather local and cultural narratives and perspectives in support of KMR’s primary objective to reduce sediment entering the Kaipara Moana while informing a ‘blueprint’ for local restoration that can be widely used across the catchment by Kaipara Uri, iwi/hapū, marae, whānau and communities. Applications are open now until 1 April 2025.
