The project produced a series of reports which can be accessed below, these include Department of Conservation (DOC) and National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA) reports.
Background information and objectives of the Maori Methods and Indicators for Marine Protection Project.
This report has been prepared on behalf of the project manager to inform the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FRST) about the achievements of the Maori Methods and Indictors for Marine Protection project and the lessons learnt from the process.
This report documents a process for the development of marine tohu/indicators relevant to Ngati Kere for monitoring the health of their rohe moana/coastal and marine area.
This report focuses on the environmental tohu identified by Ngati Konohi as indicators of the health of the marine environment in the rohe moana of Ngati Konohi (Waihau Bay in the north, to Tatapouri heads in the south).
This report provides opinion on modern management systems in the rohe moana/ coastal area, by identifying visions and values, species of importance and indicators relevant to Ngati Kere. It has been produced from a Ngati Kere perspective.
This report aims to explore how different marine management systems are able to meet the goals and aspirations of Ngati Konohi in their rohe moana/coastal area and also meet wider conservation objectives.
This report details the findings of monitoring intertidal paua and kina populations within and surrounding Te Angiangi and Te Tapuwae o Rongokako Marine Reserves, aimed at establishing whether populations of these species have demonstrated any response to protection.
This report presents the results of five years of reef fish monitoring in Te Tapuwae o Rongokako Marine Reserve, aimed at describing the reef fish communities of the area and determining whether any changes have taken place within the reserve that may be attributable to protection.
This report provides an overview of the types of seabed habitats and their spatial extent in the Hauraki Gulf, as information relevant to the potential placement of marine reserves within the area.
This report gives details of the development of a hydrodynamic and dispersion model for the Central Hawke's Bay coastline between Cape Turnagain and the Te Angiangi Marine Reserve.
This report is part of two climatologies of biogeochemical properties of the New Zealand coastal zone using over six years of satellite remotely-sensed observations of ocean colour from the NASA SeaWiFS sensor.
This report provides a subtidal habitat survey of the area between Tuingara Point and Blackhead Point, encompassing the reserve and 3 other subtidal reef systems outside the reserve, using acoustic mapping techniques and video.
This report documents numerical simulations of larvae dispersal in the Te Tapuwae O Rongokako Marine Reserve, iincluding the deployment of current, wave and temperature measurement devices in the marine reserve.
This report documents the modelling of larval dispersal from the Te Tapuwae O Rongokako Marine Reserve, with particular focus on predicting the ability of populations within the reserve to populate other habitats along the coast.
This report documents a finer resolution terrestrial, freshwater and marine environment classification developed for Fiordland. The results of the statistical modelling were used to develop a multivariate classification ofphysical environmental types.
This report summarises results from the survey of 38 rocky reefs at ~15 m depth throughout the Hauraki Gulf conducted between May 2002 and February 2003 and reports on statistical relationships established between biological data and physical environmental variables.
This reports provides three data layers for incorporation into the Marine Environment Classification scheme, to represent long-term average values, to be indicative of the climatological average state under existing conditions.
