Te ao Māori perspectives of marine scale
Kainamu A & Rolleston-Gabel T (2023)
Scale is inherent within te ao Māori perspectives of our ecosystems. However, tangata whenua must currently work within the constraints of Western science and policy systems, which has minimised their ability to enact kaitiakitanga in marine and freshwater environments. This review supports the idea that honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi is central to realising marine wellbeing in Aotearoa. Therefore it’s important to understand what scale might look like from a te ao Māori perspective.
