Ship anchors can cause extensive and long-lasting damage to the seabed.

At a recent workshop, AUT's Marta Ribó and ESNZ's Dr Sally Watson brought together iwi, government agencies and researchers, to highlight existing research & look at ways to mitigate effects.

@autnews.bsky.social was proud to host the Tuna Hui/Eel Symposium 2025 last week.

Two days of mātauranga, science, conservation & lived experience from Aotearoa, the Pacific, France & Japan.

Ngā mihi to everyone who travelled, presented & contributed so generously #tuna #freshwater #conservation

Is our food system overdue for a revamp?

Prof Tracy Berno from the AUT Centre for Critical Food Studies thinks so. She says “Changes to contemporary food systems are key to both sustainable, regenerative environments and human health.”

Lurking under the COVID-19 pandemic came the little known “ports congestion pandemic”, where ships around the world were forced to wait on anchor for weeks or months for port access.

Our newest collaboration was set up to unravel the impacts of anchoring. Read more here: tinyurl.com/2y2v4scz

Despite intensive research, no-one has identified where tuna spawn, or which routes their larvae take to return to NZ.

Dr Amandine Sabadel & her team are hoping to reconstruct the journeys of these taonga using a new method based on stable isotopes.

We asked our steering committee members what other issues they think our network should address - check out what they said!

It gives insight into where we're coming from & where we could go in the future.

Why restore one catchment when you can restore three?

The Ngā Awa River Restoration Programme is supporting freshwater restoration initiatives in three Doubtless Bay catchments. We're proud to be co-leading this programme, along with a Doubtless Bay hapū collective and @docgovtnz.bsky.social

One of our main goals is to support inter- and transdisciplinary work to achieve real-world impact.
