Restoring Te Awarua o Porirua VM

The wetlands and surrounding forests of Te Awarua o Porirua, or Porirua Harbour, were once rich food baskets for NgÄti Toa Rangatira. But decades of development throughout the catchment - large-scale deforestation, road and rail building and urban growth - have brought sediment and pollution into the harbour, damanging the habitat. Veronika Meduna meets some of the large team working to restore the harbour to its former plenty.
