The Iongairo project

The Team from Environment Canterbury

Are you a fan of maps? Interested in our marine environments?

The Iongairo project has been diving deep to understand the seafloor and marine ecosystems around Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula.

The Iongairo partners have now proudly launched their interactive maps that provide new insights into what lies beneath the waves. The maps will help rūnanga, communities and agencies make more informed decisions about ecosystem management.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
