On the 24th of March 2015, the Whangawehi Leaders were invited to the International Iwi Fishing Conference in Auckland and asked to explain how Iwi can engage positively with agencies in resource management.

The Wai Maori Trust, whose role is to support and promote iwi management of waterways, is supportive of this collaborative approach and uses it as a template to showcase how collaboration between iwi/hapu and agencies can lead to positive outcomes.

Well done Kathleen and Rae for doing us proud.
