Whakatū marae

Whakatū marae, one of seven marae in the region, is a sign of the revival of Nelson–Marlborough’s eight tribes. Along with new marae projects they are developing educational and health facilities; they also provide training programmes, and have developed significant commercial fishing and aquaculture businesses.
