Te Au o te Moana

Te Au o Te Moana is a podcast that aims to whakamana the voices of researchers, co-developers, Māori partners and communities of research and practice associated with Sustainable Seas and their relationship with the moana. In an episode recorded at the Sustainable Seas Symposium 2024, Astley chats to Tangaroa Ararau project lead, Beth Tupara-Katene to discuss how Tangaroa Ararau is reimagining the way we consider marine governance in Aotearoa. Kaupapa discussed includes the intersection of mātauranga Māori and Western science and the challenges and benefits of implementing tikanga-led management systems.
