Northland Regional Council has set up a $20,000 fund to support tāngata whenua to do their own environmental monitoring.
Council chair Tui Shortland says it will complement monitoring activities in projects or programmes where council and tāngata whenua are in partnership.
It can help tāngata whenua to undertake cultural monitoring activities; to increase their skills and knowledge of scientific environmental monitoring; and to develop methods for monitoring the cultural and physical health of fresh and coastal water bodies and their associated ecosystems, as well as the impact of climate change.
Applications on behalf of marae kōmiti, hapu trusts or iwi authorities close on March 24.
