Preserving the legacy and protection of the Rangitata River
Canterbury
In 2019, anglers successfully stood up for the Rangitata River, preventing a proposed additional 10m3 water take from proceeding. This victory highlighted a crucial lesson - the importance of recorded evidence in defending our rivers. Following the guidance of our expert witness, anglers embarked on a mission to document the Oral Histories of the River. This scientific approach, conducted in collaboration with the University of Canterbury, is now 2/3 complete. The next phase involves bringing this invaluable resource to the pre-print stage, ensuring it is fully referenced and citable. Subsequent steps include peer review and publication, solidifying its credibility and impact.
Pre Print Stage $6K
Peer Review and Publication $10K
