The Mauri Compass was developed as a comprehensive environmental assessment tool where matauranga Maori and western science stand as unique bodies of knowledge in their own right. 
​
​There are over 150 questions that inform the 12 main attribute indicators that determine the mauri of any particular waterbody [marine or freshwater].
​
The Dashboard is designed to visualise these complex inter-relationships in a straightforward manner.
