Tauranga Harbour Iwi Management Plan

 

Ko te moana ehara rawa i te wai kau

He maha ona hua i ora ai

Ngä manu o te rangi

Te iwi ki te whenua

 

The sea is not only water

It is the marae of Tangaroa

It yields life for many things

The birds in the sky

The people on the land

 

Ngäi Te Rangi, Ngäti Ranginui and Ngäti Pükenga Iwi strive to maintain, enhance and protect the natural resources of Tauranga Moana through our inherent obligation to kaitiakitanga.
