They will stay there until October before they return south.The humpback population that uses New Zealand’s waters once stood at 20,000, but whaling at the turn of the century saw it drop to a few hundred. Since New Zealand whalers harpooned their last whale in 1964, it has steadily risen to 10,000. As a keystone species, they play a large part in the ecosystem. The nutrients they release fertilize a food web.“My community would see them more regularly when I was younger,” says Takoko, a Gisborne resident who is now in her 40s. “It’s very difficult to see them now, as they don’t come as close to the coast. The migratory patterns have been changing.”In 2023, Takoko was part of a team who helped bring together an all-female Pacific crew, which would sail 1,000 miles along the humpback highway from New Zealand to Tonga to help raise awareness of the plight of the whales. Along the way, the Hinemoana Halo Waka Moana Initiative crew would collect environmental DNA (eDNA) data, namely mucus, larvae, feces or skin cells, which researchers could then use to confirm what species are present or are missing from the water.The Hinemoana Halo Waka Moana Initiative recruited 12 crew members from the Cook Islands, New Zealand, Samoa and Tonga. It included veteran sailors, such as Aunofo Havea, the first Tongan woman licensed as a sea captain, and Fealofani Bruun, the first Samoan woman to qualify as a yacht master, as well as a new generation of voyagers. The youngest crew member was 14-year-old Ana Ngamoki from the Te Whānau a Apanui iwi (tribe) in New Zealand, which partnered with the expedition.The team knew that if this marine conservation project were to be truly Indigenous, it would need to feature a waka hourua. The traditional, wooden, double-hulled ocean-going canoe typically has two sails and measures nearly 60 feet long. Polynesians have used the vessels for voyaging for thousands of years.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aotearoa</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HumpBackWhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumpBackWhales</a>. <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/an-all-female-crew-sailed-1000-miles-in-a-traditional-voyaging-canoe-to-help-save-humpback-whales-180985146/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/an-all-female-crew-sailed-1000-miles-in-a-traditional-voyaging-canoe-to-help-save-humpback-whales-180985146/</a>
