- Summary
- Whaka Inaka : Causing Whitebait is a joint project between EOS Ecology, Ngāi Tahu, the University of Canterbury (UC), and Conservation Volunteers New Zealand. The project was designed to address anecdotal evidence suggesting that spawning has greatly declined due changes to riverbanks and riparian vegetation rendering much of the historical spawning habitat unsuitable.
