Moana New Zealand is the largest Māori–owned fisheries company in New Zealand (Aotearoa).

Moana takes it's catch solely from the coastal waters of Aotearoa, possibly the world’s most pristine and sustainable fisherie.

Over 6 months I worked with Auckland Design firm, Design Works to photograph Moana's 5 main seafood catchment arms. Fin Fish, Wild Abalone, Lobster, Oyster and Blue Abalone. The assignment took me right into the working lives of the men and women who fished the New Zealand coastline, both above and below the water line. I followed the Abalone divers down to the seabed and long line fishermen out into the pacific.
