Kai<strong>moana</strong> Abundance & Environmental Impact on Kai<strong>moana</strong> What is affecting kai<strong>moana</strong> abundance? What actions can be done to reduce pressure on kai and bring back abundance? What activities most impact kai<strong>moana</strong>? Changing Methods of Accessing Kai<strong>moana</strong> How can kaitiaki and communities positively affect their mahinga kai areas and bring back kai<strong>moana</strong> abundance? Summary of key points: Quotes: Study species lifecycle to determine when it is best to gather; change back to seasonal gathering Dive for kai so elders don’t have to Produce your own food using aquaculture to take pressure off wild stocks Rotate areas for gathering; give areas a ‘breather’; rāhui for particular areas Gather middle-sized fish and leave breeders alone Restock species When kai<strong>moana</strong> isn’t able to be gathered like it used to be, then knowledge is lost; cultural practises aren’t able to be maintained The tradition of trading kai has been denigrated by loss of abundance and law (kereru) you rotate your areas so that the stock doesn't get hit – Interviewee #2 ..................... why don't you go and put your scuba gear on and go and dive? because these rocks here, our old people could be gathering the kai. – Interviewee #4 ..................... over time, we've lost the movement of pātiki, knowing when they come in and when they go back out again. So I believe that they are there, but I think we need to re-look at their life cycle, their movements again – Interviewee #8 ..................... 1
You take pressure off wild stocks; by producing food you’re taking the pressure off. We were hoping if we got successful to reseed, if we were going to be successful we would be able to supply food to the marae – Interviewee #9 ..................... Interviewer #1 - Tangaroa is quite resilient despite the best endeavours of humankind. I suspect if you gave it a breather, give it a bit of space you might find how it bounces back. Interviewee #15- ... if he knows that we're doing this he will look after us too. ..................... Pātaka system ... we’re trying to change the whole concept of diving back to seasonal – Interviewee #16 ..................... we tell our people the middle size is better. – Interviewee #16 ..................... ...trying to restock again because we need to look at try and help mating. – Interviewee #16 ..................... we close all the beaches down and regenerate it – Interviewee #16 ..................... ...we wanted a pātaka system – Interviewee #16 ..................... Interviewee #18 - one of our kuia told us when they were kids they weren’t allowed to touch the trout once they got past the wahapū. Once they got off the awa it was hands off. They got past you, leave them alone. They are going to spawn. If you can’t catch them out of the lake you’ve got to leave them alone and I grabbed that and I said, ‘Hey, that’s an old fishing tikanga.’ Although the law might say, ‘You can fish out there,’ we got to start saying, ‘No you can’t. Our tūpuna have not allowed that. We don’t allow that,’ Interviewer #1 – So is that a system of rāhui in particular areas? Interviewee #18 – Yes, ..................... we don’t have those stories to share anymore or we can’t go down and boast about our watercress and take people down... it all comes back to kai. ... We always come back to kai and that’s the epitome of 2
