An inspiring artist working on the tidal sands describes his art work, which are soon swept away by the rising tide, never to be seen again, as 'gifts to Tangaroa'. (Maori God of the Seas'.)
Obviously the one off art works are also appreciated from the nearby residents and visitors, but in the artists mind is Tangaroa and giving back.
In Zeand Fishing terms, I can think of no better example in explaining the importance of building a relationship with our marine environment.
