Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I tērā rā, i rapu au i roto i ngā rau o ngā whakaahua e tūmanako ana kia kitea he tīmatanga ki te tuhi i tēnei tuhinga. Ko te titiro ki ngā whakaahua tawhito he wheako ahuareka - te haere mai ki te marena, ki ngā maharatanga rānei o ngā wā harikoa me te whānau, me ngā hoa. Heoi, i tēnei wā, i kitea e au i roto i ngā pikitia mai i tētahi wā whakamataku e tino hiahia ana mātou kia kaua rawa e puta, engari kāore e taea te wareware. Ko ngā takutai onepu mā, he mea poke ki te paru pango, ngā awa wai, me te kararehe mohoao, kua katia ngā pakihi, me ngā tohu i te marae o mua e tono ana mō te tika me te āwhina. E rima tau i muri i te aitua o te papa hinu o Deepwater Horizon i mate ai te 11 o nga tangata, i whakangaromia ai nga oranga, i whakangaromia ai nga rawa maori o te rohe o te Moana-a-Mehiko, kua tae ki te wa ki te patai ki a tatou ano: He aha nga mea kua akohia e tatou? A he aha ta tatou e pai ai ki te mahi kia kore ai e puta anō? I noho ahau i te nuinga o te tau 2010 ki te Moana-a-Kiwa, e haereere ana i roto i ngā hapori, e noho ana ki te iwi, e kite ana i te pānga o tēnei parekura taiao. E rima tau i muri mai, ka hoki mai ahau ki te kite he aha te mea kua huri, he aha hoki te mea kua rite tonu. Tuatahi, he mea nui kia mārama e kore te kaupapa "kua ngaro i te tirohanga, kua ngaro i te hinengaro" e pā ana ki ngā hapori o ngā kāwanatanga o te Gulf Coast. Kei te haere tonu te whakapapa o te rerenga hinu a BP ki tēnei rohe pēnei i te mate pukupuku e hoki mai ana. I tēnei haerenga tata nei, i kite au i ngā toenga wairua o ngā moutere katoa kua pau i te hinu, ā, i ako au mō ngā kaipūkahu me ngā kaihao ika e whara tonu ana i te oranga i te mea i tupu i te rima tau ki muri. Whakaaro i a Papa: Ko te tamahine a te kaimahi papa me ana moemoea. He pono, ehara i te mea ehara i te ahunga whakamua. Kua whakapau kaha ngā rōpū hapori me ngā whakahaere whakatapua ki te whakahoki mai, ki te whakatika hoki, ehara i te mea ko te taiao tūturu anake, engari ko te āhua o te ora. He mea nui tēnei mahi, ā, e tika ana kia aro atu tātou, kia whai rauemi anō hoki hei haere tonu. Engari kaua e pohehe: Ahakoa kua hoki mai te ahua o te noho noa ki te rohe o te Moana-a-Kiwa me te ahunga whakamua nui kua whakatutukihia,...
"Kāore e kitea, kāore e whakaarotia" kāore i te pā ki ngā hapori i te Moana-a-Mehiko, e ai ki a Philippe Cousteau. Me whai wā tātou, me whakapau kaha ki te mārama ki ō tātou rawa māori, e ai ki a ia. E mea ana ia he iti noa iho te māramatanga ki te āhua o te mahi a te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.
