Te Kūwaha tools and resources

NIWA is constantly developing new tools and resources for use by specific stakeholders, communities, and schools.

Material from the workshop in 2007 in Wellington:

Some of the useful tools we have developed include:

Taonga Species Series

NIWA, through the MBIE-funded Cultural Keystone Species programme (2016-2020), have developed a series of iwi engagement booklets sharing science knowledge to support species management strategy

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA)

To prepare for changes in climate, our freshwater and oceans decision-makers need information on species vulnerability to climate change.

Kaitiaki Tools

Kaitiaki Tools is a store of knowledge for people who manage natural resources. It contains information about the environmental impacts of different kinds of land use and industries, and how these will affect water quality and mahinga kai.
