Moananui
Tasman Bay
Moananui is an industry-led blue economy cluster that connects people, ideas and opportunities to help grow the blue economy while improving ocean health.
Working across marine engineering, seafood, ocean technology, aquaculture, biotechnology, research, infrastructure, fisheries and related industries, Moananui brings together organisations to collaborate, solve challenges and accelerate innovation across the blue economy.
Through strategic partnerships, events, introductions and project support, Moananui helps strengthen connections and create opportunities across the blue economy ecosystem.
Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA) was a founding partner in the establishment of Moananui, helping initiate and develop the cluster and continuing to provide strategic and organisational support as it evolves.
Through leadership, funding and network connections, NRDA has helped build the foundations that have enabled Moananui to grow into an industry led blue economy cluster.
