OPERATION TARAMEA AITUTAKI
28 June 2026On World Ocean Day, Korero o te Orau joined AKTT Aitutaki students and local boat drivers to help remove taramea (crown of thorn starfish) from the reef.
It was inspiring to see our māpū out on the water exploring, diving, and taking an active role in protecting their reefs. Together, we removed 124 taramea, with $5 paid for each one removed as part of the conservation initiative.
It was a meaningful day of action, learning, and giving back to our moana. The future of our reefs is brighter when our young people are empowered to care for them!

Taramea Reef Removal
8 June 2026Today confirmed that we definitely need long fins for free diving outside the reef. The stronger currents and longer swims make them essential for working safely and efficiently.
Even in a short time on the reef with Aitutaki Coral Restoration & Eco Tours, we removed 46 taramea. Every one removed helps protect our precious coral reefs.
