Figure 3 - Wainono Coastal Lagoon Project
The Wainono Coastal Lagoon Project received $800,000 from the Fresh Start for Fresh Water Clean-up Fund from 2012 to 2015. The funding was used to fence streams flowing into the lagoon, build culverts, bridges, and alternative stock water sources at important sites, plant native vegetation, and complete some erosion and sediment control works. The Wainono Coastal Lagoon Project received more than $500,000 of increased funding through the Te Mana o Te Wai Fund, awarded to Te Rūnanga o Waihao Incorporated. As well as fulfilling the Te Mana o Te Wai Fund’s objective of improving iwi environmental capacity, the Project also allowed iwi and hapū to influence freshwater management of the lagoon, which is an important mahinga kai and cultural site for rūnanga.
