Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital Incorporated

Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital Incorporated (TMBC) is a collaboration that has its roots in a collective effort to “build a biosecurity team of 5 million New Zealanders” - to shift how we, as New Zealanders, think about biosecurity, how it connects to our everyday lives, and how people can get involved.

The collaboration has a goal of improving the biosecurity situation in Tauranga Moana and the wider Bay of Plenty by engaging with and empowering action to quickly identify new risks or manage existing, from the local community, industry, mana whenua, and individuals.

TMBC brings together a “coalition of the willing” and establishes Tauranga Moana mana whenua at the centre of our regional biosecurity team, in a broad collaboration between Māori, community groups, industry, businesses, agencies, educators, scientists and others striving to achieve biosecurity excellence.

Any organisation with a genuine interest in biosecurity is welcome to join TMBC as a general member, free of charge.

By becoming a member, your organisation stands squarely behind our mission to lead and take collaborative action towards biosecurity excellence.

Biosecurity is fundamental to the Māori cultural economy and who we are – our whakapapa, our whanaungatanga, and mana taiao (our connection to, and role as kaitiaki for, our environment).
