Exotic Caulerpa
Exotic Caulerpa is an invasive seaweed that colonises the seabed by forming large dense mats, killing our native seaweeds that many of our kaimoana, like snapper and crayfish, feed off. This seaweed was first found at Aotea Great Barrier Island in 2021. Exotic Caulerpa is easy to spread and hard to remove. A small fragment of the plant caught up in netting or on an anchor and released in another location is more than enough to help this invasive plant spread further.
Te Tai Tokerau Resilience Action Plan
On behalf of FNDC councillor, Kelly Stratford, Chair of the Cyclone Gabrielle Regional Recovery Group, please find a copy of the Te Tai Tokerau Resilience Action Plan with covering letter and Rationale and Approach for sharing with your wider networks.
The Action plan was commissioned to provide a list of short-, medium- and long-term priorities for building Northland’s resilience, informed by our remote communities, to put Northland in a position to seek funding for strengthening regional resilience. The documents can be used as a reference of our communities’ voices when you are seeking funding opportunities. Click on the links below to access the documents.
