Koro Nui o te Vaikava o Rapa Nui, the ocean council of Rapa Nui, previously known as Easter Island, together with Polynesian Voyaging Society and Pacific Pwo Navigators, hosted earlier this month Te Piri māʻohi o Te Moana Nui a Hiva, a gathering of Pacific community and government leaders on Rapa Nui. Voyaging leaders, scientists, ocean experts, cultural practitioners, community leaders and government representatives from throughout the Pacific Ocean region came together to strengthen ancestral relationships, share voyaging knowledge and collaborate on ocean conservation initiatives with a particular focus on the high seas.
