The purpose of our Research & Monitoring Programme is increase our understanding of the marine environment Te Moana-tāpokopoko-a-Tāwhaki, from the shores of Te Waipounamu to the Subantarctic Islands and the southern Ross Sea; and to generate the tools and knowledge we need to implement sustainable marine management of the region. Finding the right balance for fishing, research, tourism, and conservation requires approaches that are both scientifically rigorous and able to encompass the geographical, ecological, and cultural connectivity and complexity of Te Moana-tāpokopoko-a-Tāwhaki. We believe this is only possible by forming a wide-ranging and inclusive alliance transcending sectors (research, policy, industry) and national boundaries. Murihiku ki Te Tonga was officially launched and introduced to the international science community in August 2023. A more detailed outline of our Research & Monitoring Programme was presented as a paper (PDF, 1.73 MB) to CCAMLR in June 2024.
