Rāhui placed on Te Whanga a Ruawharo - Hawke’s Bay after cyclone
A Rāhui has been placed on on Te Whanga a Ruawharo - Hawke’s Bay for at least ten days, with a ban on fishing and kaimoana gathering, Mana Ahuriri Trust has announced.
The Rāhui is supported by other hapū within Te Whanga a Ruawharo, as well as Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated and the Hawke`s Bay Regional Council.
“Due to the recent Cyclone Gabrielle and the disturbance to our whenua, Tangata whenua are still recovering tūpāpaku from the ‘still missing list’ from Tangaroa. We also believe kōiwi from flooded urupā have been carried through the floods to sea,” the Trust said.
“We ask that you respect our wishes and hereby set this Rāhui. A notice of removal will be posted in the coming days.”
