IKA 3.1

IKA is an initiative of Cornerstone Education Ltd, a registered and accredited NZQA education provider.

We are working with the Northland & Auckland communities to provide education programmes which embrace the principles of Matauranga Maori.

We have started with our scuba diving training programmes from level 3 to 6.

We are working with local iwi and hapu to develop further programmes in the areas of:

Marine biology and ecology (with a focus on sustainable seafood harvesting)
Maori customary fishing rights (with a focus on sustainability practices)

Tangata Kaitiaki (who are marae-authorised individuals who co-ordinate and manage seafood gathering activities in certain areas)

IKA will provide people that can make a direct contribution to iwi and hapu aspirations and developments.
