whakaraupō moana September 2025
The Whakaraupō Moana programme delves deep into the complexities of sea water management and guardianship.
This is our 20th year running programmes in Canterbury. Our programmes’ purpose is to enable young people to explore and understand the complexity of issues within the natural environment, aligning with the kaupapa of Untouched World that established the Foundation.
Whakaraupō Moana participants, with support from Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, will be exposed to, and interact with, all players; from mana whenua, governance, commercial, environmental and those that call Whakaraupō home.
