Seabed mapping

NIWA's research vessel Tangaroa has sailed to map the seabed in the mid-to-outer Greater Hauraki Gulf, including the coast off Coromandel. The focus of the survey is to provide base bathymetric mapping of the area that will support the Auckland and Waikato Councils, Ministry for Primary Industries, Department of Conservation, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), iwi, and commercial and recreational fishers, as well as providing key baseline knowledge on which to build well targeted future scientific research.

Age study grant

A two-year investigation into keeping older people independent and active has been granted $687,000 by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Making Active Ageing a Reality project is being led by Professor Peggy Koopman-Boyden at the National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis at the University of Waikato and aims to encourage greater independence for older people living alone, increase their productivity, and keep them connected in an increasingly digital age.
