Curious about what Fish Futures is transforming in Aotearoa’s freshwater space? Check out our latest Fish Futures paper, which lays out everything you wanted to know about the programme. It takes you inside our five‑year, transdisciplinary journey and shows how we’re reimagining the way we work with freshwater fish, knowledge, and community.
Rather than relying on technical fixes alone, the paper brings to life a research approach grounded in relationships – between people, places, and freshwater species. Through hui, co‑production, and foundations in Te Ao Māori, it introduces six guiding values that reshape how research is conceived, conducted, and shared.
It’s an inspiring look at why the future of freshwater fish conservation depends not just on science, but on transforming how we create and use knowledge together. If you want to understand the heart of the Fish Futures kaupapa, and why it matters, this paper is well worth the read.
