Waitā is a star that symbolises all sources of salt water as well as those that dwell within it. It discovers new life within these waters even after all this time. Te Moana-nui-o-Kiwa and Te Tai-o-Rehua are filled with a wonder of plant life, whāngote and ika. Respect, preserve and protect our coasts and oceans and the ocean dwellers for they are a great taonga.
