Dr J.G. Gibb, Coastal Management Consultant (C.R. 98/5) Page 2 Gisborne District Council Assessment of Coastal Hazard Zones for Tolaga Bay and Anaura Bay, Gisborne District, by GIS Computer Model EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On 17 January 1997, the writer was commissioned by Gisborne District Council (GDC) to carry out detailed assessments of Coastal Hazard Zones (CHZ) for both Tolaga and Anaura Bays (Figure 1). The agreed study objectives were to: i. “Define Coastal Hazard Risk Zones (CHRZs) for Anaura Bay and Tolaga Bay with Gisborne District Council’s (Council) Arc/Info Geographic Information System (GIS).” ii. “Produce CHRZs in a format suitable for inclusion in Council’s Regional Coastal Environment and District Plans for the Gisborne Region and to be used after that for any purpose to which such Plans are normally put.” An Arc/Info GIS computer model developed and standardised by the writer in 1996 in Tauranga District was successfully adapted and used for this study to define Coastal Hazard Zones for both Tolaga and Anaura Bays, inclusive of Coastal Erosion Hazard Risk Zones and Coastal Flood Hazard Zone. The entire Tolaga Bay and Anaura Bay shorelines are subject to and will continue to be subject to adverse effects from the identified natural hazards of minor wind erosion and major sea-erosion of the foredune complex enhanced by rising sea-levels next century, and significant temporary inundation of coastal hinterland from Tsunami up to 4-6m and Storm Wave Runup (SWRU) up to 5-7m during extreme events. Coastal Erosion Hazard Zone (CEHZ) widths inclusive of Extreme, High and Moderate Risk Zones and Safety Buffer Zones ranged from 35 to 205m in width from the 1997 dune in Anaura Bay and 70 to 200m in Tolaga Bay, for a planning horizon from the present to the year 2100 A.D. Coastal Flood Hazard Zone (CFHZ) widths inclusive of the effects of both a 4-6m Tsunami and 5-7m SWRU ranged in width from 14 to 225m in Tolaga Bay and 15 to 150m in Anaura Bay from the 1997 duneline for extreme events over the next century. Within the Extreme to Moderate Risk Erosion Zones and CFHZ of the CHZ, property, assets, amenity and conservation values have a high probability of being damaged or destroyed at various periods over the next century (1998-2100 A.D.). Landward of the CHZ, the risk to these elements over the next 100 years is likely to be very low. It is recommended that Gisborne District Council, after due consideration of this report: i. ADOPT the 1998 Coastal Hazard Zones for Anaura Bay and Tolaga Bay inclusive of the Extreme, High and Moderate Risk Erosion Zones and Safety Buffer Zone (Coastal Erosion Hazard Zone) and Coastal Flood Hazard Zone, to control actual and potential use, subdivision and development, and to advise the public of actual and potential risks to beachfront property from natural coastal hazards. ii. INCORPORATE the 1998 Coastal Hazard Zones for both Anaura Bay and Tolaga Bay into Councils 1997 Proposed Regional Coastal Environment Plan and Proposed Gisborne District combined Regional Land and District Plan. Dr J.G. Gibb, Coastal Management Consultant (C.R. 98/5) Page 3 Gisborne District Council Assessment of Coastal Hazard Zones for Tolaga Bay and Anaura Bay, Gisborne District, by GIS Computer Model iii. PROVIDE for open days at selected venues in both Tolaga and Anaura Bays to disseminate both the findings of this study and Council’s decisions with respect to managing use, subdivision and development within the 1998 Coastal Hazard Zones. iv. ESTABLISH and maintain ongoing monitoring programmes in both Tolaga and Anaura Bays to record annual changes in the position of the shoreline and elevation of the nearshore seabed and to record the landward extent and elevations reached by both severe Storm Wave Runup and Tsunami events. v. REVIEW the 1998 Coastal hazard Zones using the GIS computer model either every 10 years, OR after the occurrence of significant natural phenomena (e.g. Severe wave storms, tsunami, large earthquakes, etc), OR after significant changes in global and regional Climate Predictions by the Royal Society of New Zealand and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. vi. IMPLEMENT and support appropriate “Coast Care” programmes involving local communities to restore, enhance or maintain the protective foredune complex in both Tolaga and Anaura Bays. vii. UTILIZE the standardised GIS computer model used in this study to assess Coastal Hazard Zones for other priority coastal areas in Gisborne District including those areas previously assessed in Poverty Bay and Wainui Beach.

Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.
