WRIBO-K COASTAL MONITORING BUOY
The image credit is: NIWA, Parsons-King.
The picture is from Friday 20th November, where Uncle Ted, Denise and Tutere went to the Mana Marina to bless the WRIBO-K coastal monitoring buoy that was then deployed just outside of the Kapiti Marine Reserve.
The project is a joint venture between NIWA, Wellington Regional Council, and the Department of Conservation, who consulted with our Taiao Committee for this project.
The buoy will monitor currents and waves, salinity, oxygen and chlorophyll, water temperature, sediment, wind direction and speed, and will also give us insight to the water quality and impacts of outflows from our local awa.
