Mangopare (Hammerhead shark): uniting traditional Māori knowledge with modern science

The image of Mangopare (Hammerhead shark) found throughout the SfTI site is from a design by Tyler Dixon (Waikato-Maniapoto, Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāi Tahu).
It symbolises the strength in duality to be found in combining traditional Māori knowledge and modern western science.
