Te Moana

The sea that sustains

Ōariki looks out to Te Moana-nui-a-Toi. The coastline of the eastern Bay is part of daily life here — the light on the water, the sound of it, and the kai it provides.

Fish from the beach at first light, swim on a still morning, or follow the coast as the moana shifts with the weather. Evenings often close with kai gathered from the water.

Our Kaitiakitanga

We do not simply own this place — we have a responsibility to care for it.

The moana gives generously, and that generosity depends on restraint. Taking only what is needed, and looking after the coast, is how the Trust helps keep these waters able to feed the next generation.
