$5m is being used to clean up the Waikato River,
but Akaaka Farm's main concern is for the water creatures
living under the surface.
There's gold at the end of the rainbow.
Whitebait gold.
These kids are playing up.
The kids are returning to the water, but the Waikato River Authority
wants the river to return to its original beauty.
This is one of the first projects to receive funding.
This funding is for those who have initiatives
to restore the well-being of the river.
Over $50m worth of projects were applied for
to restore the river.
We're happy we've started the distribution of funds
to restore our river.
A positive sign in the sky
that the river will regain its well-being.
This island in Akaaka is 2ha.
They're hopeful whitebait will return in multitudes.
If there were more like him, our whitebait reserves will return
and the support of the people will ensure its survival.
If we do this together, it will benefit the community.
The project is supported by the funding.
