Abstract
The Moana Project is a 5-year $11.5 million MBIE Endeavour funded project. It aims to improve understanding of coastal ocean circulation, connectivity and marine heatwaves to provide information that supports New Zealand’s seafood industry. The project includes outstanding research organisations in New Zealand and overseas, and partners with Whakatōhea iwi to support their rohe moana interests in the Bay of Plenty.
The Moana Project has five major components, through these complimentary work streams, the Moana Project is set to change how we understand and view our oceans.
