ABSTRACT

In March 2020 a group of kaitiaki and rangatira, scholars, industries and government delegates from the Department of Conservation and the Ministry for Primary Industries gathered in Auckland, New Zealand to participate in a workshop. The ‘Information and Data Custody for the surveillance of plant pathogens’ workshop focused on strategies to facilitate the exchange, protection, curation, permissions and sharing of surveillance data and information between hapū/Iwi and agencies that generate and provide science and research initiatives and investment in surveillance. In particular, the workshop objectives were 1) to examine the benefits/opportunities of sharing of surveillance data from all partners and among these partners, 2) to identify barriers and challenges to sharing in and across NRT research projects.
