Kua waitohua he whakaaetanga mo te awa ō Whanganui.
Ko te ngako ō te whakaaetanga nei i waenganui i te Karauna me ngā iwi whai pānga ki te awa ō Whanganui, he whakaū i te mana motuhake ō te awa ki roto i tātahi ture.
Hei tā Ahorangi Paul Moon ō te Kura Aronui ō Tāmaki Makaurau, mā tānei whakaaetanga ka whai ai ngā iwi i te mana ki te awa, ā, mena e whakamahi ana ātahi roopu i te awa hei mahi putea ma rātou, tāra pea ka taea e ngā iwi nei te uhi utu ki runga i aua roopu mo tā rātou kohi putea i te awa
