are important
to Iwi and were highly regarded as
mahinga kai (McDowall, 2011). Only one
species has been confirmed as being
present in Taranaki, being Echyridella
menziesii. This species is classified as
being ‘in decline’, which places them in
the ‘at risk’ category (Grainger et al,
2013).
Another species (Echyridella aucklandica)
has been recorded in a number of
locations in the North Island, including Figure 5: Lake Rotorangi

encouraging. On top of its
use with Yr12/13 science classes, we are now
offering SHMAK courses to adult groups such
as several Taranaki iwi who want to monitor the
health of streams within their tribal area. This is
another example of ‘citizen science’ in action.
What’s more, the adults seem to really enjoy it!

Over the last few months, NPDC along with environmental action and sustainability focused groups,
Friends of Pukakura Park and iwi have been working collaboratively to bring about a hub in the North.
The hub gives individuals and organisations a place to work, hold meetings and educational
workshops; allowing the public to see demonstrations in practice.
Your Enviroschools team is excited to be a
part of this. The Hub will be opening soon
and more information will come when we
are
