๐ History of Environmental Change in the Kaipara ๐
Archaeologist James Robinson will talk about the Kaipara, a shallow drowned valley with extensive rivers and waterways, forming the second-largest estuarine harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. Its rich environment was extremely conducive for Mฤori and European utilisation and settlement. However, this resulted in significant, though not fully understood, environmental change.
James will examine archaeological and historical evidence to try to understand the causes of this change.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
