A Wetland For Te WaihoraAugust 30, 2022

Ahuriri Lagoon was once an open body of water surrounded by a rich wetland, which had been a significant place and mahinga kai/food resource for the local iwi/tribe Ngai Tahu. Over the years the lagoon was completely drained for farming. Due to a community desire to see the lagoon restored, the Whakaora Te Ahuriri project was initiated to create a constructed wetland at this site.

A Wetland For Te Waihora was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 6 August 2023, 06:30. This episode was initially placed on Tuesday 30 August 2022.
