In 2007 WET organised a Living Lake Symposium, hosted by Lincoln University and supported by iwi, local authorities and other agencies. 180 stakeholders attended to share information and to increase the understanding of the way various issues are impacting on the values associated with Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere. Details of that event and the key findings, published in 2009, can be found here.
In 2009 WET organised a second symposium and over 100 people from all walks of life attended, focusing on where the research and action points agreed to in 2007 had led in relation to our understanding of the Lake. Presentations and notes are available here.
