Presented by the NZ Association for Environmental Education, this is a Seaweek event, there will be three speakers, Wiremu Puke, Alan Campbell and Kevin Collier, speaking about different cultural, ecological and socio-economic views and issues associated with the river, and the impact of our activities. In light of possible reductions in EW funding for some projects this could be timely for discussion.
