Seaweed Restoration guided by natural Māori techniques

Taranaki Whānui descendants researched and applied natural fibres from native plants harakeke, kiekie and pīngao to support with the restoration of Rimu Kakauroa in Te Whanganui a Tara - the harbour of Wellington.

Rimu Kakauroa is also known as Giant Kelp or Macrocystis Pyrifera.
