I te ata hāpara, ka whakatūwhera tētahi kaitūao i te whare iti kei te taha moana. Ka tirohia te waka, ngā taura, ngā kākahu haumaru, ngā rama, ngā ipu hinu. Kāore tēnei mahi e tino kitea e te tokomaha, engari ki te tangata ka raru i runga i te wai, ko ēnei mahi iti te rerekētanga i waenga i te tatari roa me te taenga mai o te āwhina.
I pūrongo a 1News mō te tahaetanga o te hinu i tētahi rōpū Coastguard kaitūao i Bay of Plenty. He iti pea te āhua o te mea ki waho: he hinu kua ngaro. Engari ki te hunga e mahi ana mō te haumaru moana, he taumaha ake. Ko te hinu he whakangungu, he puta ki te karanga ohotata, he kaha ki te tae ki tētahi whānau e hiahia āwhina ana.
Te mana o te mahi kaitūao
He maha ngā hapori o Aotearoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā kaitūao. Kei reira rātou i ngā rōpū ahi, i ngā waka whakaora, i ngā whare kai, i ngā kaupapa hākinakina, i ngā mahi tiaki taiao. Kāore rātou e mahi mō te whakanui i a rātou anō. Ka mahi rātou nā te mea e mōhio ana rātou: ka kaha ake te hapori mēnā ka tū tētahi mō tētahi.
Ko Coastguard tētahi tauira kaha. He wā ka ata noho te moana, he wā ka riri. Ka huri wawe te huarere, ka pakaru te pūkaha, ka ngaro te ara, ka māuiui tētahi i runga waka. I aua wā, ka whai tikanga ngā hāora whakangungu me ngā taputapu kua rite kē.
He aha te mamae o te tahae pēnei
Ki te tahaetia te hinu, kāore e ngaro noa iho te rawa. Ka ngaro hoki tētahi wāhanga o te whakawhirinaki. Me kimi moni anō, me whakakī anō ngā ipu, me tirotiro anō ngā whakaritenga. Ka nui ake te taumaha ki runga i ngā kaitūao kua tuku kē i ā rātou rā whakatā, ā rātou pō, ā rātou pūkenga.
He akoranga kei konei mō tātou katoa. I ētahi wā ka whakaaro te tangata he nui ngā pūtea, he māmā noa te whakakapi. Engari mō ngā rōpū iti, he nui te utu o ia mea. Ko te hinu, te taura, te rama, te koti haumaru, te wāea, te whakangungu: he katoa ēnei he wāhanga o te kupenga manaaki.
Manaaki moana, manaaki tangata
Ko te manaaki moana ehara i te kōrero ataahua noa iho. He mahi. Ko te mau koti ora. Ko te tirotiro i te huarere. Ko te whakamōhio ki tētahi tangata ki hea koe e haere ana. Ko te whakarite kia nui te hinu. Ko te mōhio ki ngā rohe me ngā tai. Ko te tuku pūtea, wā, tautoko rānei ki ngā rōpū e āwhina ana i te katoa.
Mēnā ka tiakina ngā kaitūao, ka tiakina hoki ngā whānau e haere ana ki te moana. He hononga tēnei. Kāore te haumaru e tīmata i te wā ka pā te raru. Ka tīmata i mua atu, i te whakarite, i te whakangungu, i te whakaaro nui ki ngā rawa iti.
Me pēhea te tautoko
Ka taea e te tangata te tautoko i ngā rōpū pēnei mā te tuku koha, te whai i ngā tohutohu haumaru, te tohatoha kōrero tika, me te whakaako i ngā tamariki kia whakaute ki te moana. Mō te hunga e whakamahi waka ana, me āta whakarite i mua i te wehe. Kaua e waiho mā ngā kaitūao anake e kawe te taumaha o ngā whakaritenga.
Ko te tahaetanga o te hinu he mahi kino, engari ka taea hoki te whakaoho i tētahi whakaaro pai ake: me mārama tātou ki te nui o ngā mahi huna e pupuri ana i te hapori kia haumaru. I muri i ia karanga ohotata, kei reira tētahi tangata kua whakarite kē i te waka, kua whakakī kē i te hinu, kua whakaae kē ki te haere ahakoa te makariri.
He hinu, he waka, he ringa āwhina. He iti ngā mea i te tirohanga tuatahi, engari i runga i te moana, ka nui kē te tikanga. Me manaaki tātou i te hunga e manaaki ana i a tātou.
