The project has four main foundations that run throughout all of the work that is done. Protect, Restore, Enhance and Educate.
We need to protect the Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui.
We need to restore what has been damaged.
We need to enhance the environment for future generations.
We need to educate people about why this is important.
It will take time, effort and investment to achieve and by working together we can achieve more than we can on our own.
This transformational project looks at the ecosystem as a whole (Integrated Catchment Management) and structures the work packages so they are complementary to other works and where possible coordinated to make them more cost effective. We have a number of sub projects underway so there is always something to get involved with.
This project is fully aligned with the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Strategy an alliance of local councils, iwi and Department of Conservation. Read how.
