Te Tai Hauauru walk together<br />
Bringing together 13 iwi from a huge geographical area<br />
known as Te Tai Hauauru is a feat in anyone’s terms.<br />
But having them work together on common issues<br />
and solutions is an even bigger accomplishment.<br />
Taranaki Pou Hononga Sam Tamarapa says many cups <strong>of</strong> tea<br />
were drunk in the course <strong>of</strong> achieving the first three hui-a-iwi<br />
aimed at developing a Mäori fisheries forum for this region.<br />
Getting the first hui <strong>of</strong>f the ground involved meeting<br />
individuals, rünanga chairs and CEOs <strong>of</strong> iwi from Mokau to Levin<br />
– Ngäti Tama, Ngäti Mutunga, Te Atiawa, Taranaki, Ngä Ruahine,<br />
Ngäti Ruanui, Ngäti Maru (inland iwi), Ngä Rauru Kiitahi, Te<br />
Atihaunui a Paparangi, Ngäti Apa, Ngäti Hauiti, Rangitäne and<br />
Muaupoko.<br />
“We had a lot <strong>of</strong> mini hui before we tried getting them all<br />
together,” Sam says. “Then I called a scoping hui in Hawera,<br />
hosted by Ngäti Ruanui, to get them in one room. We had about<br />
40 people from 12 <strong>of</strong> the iwi.”<br />
Those involved could see the merit <strong>of</strong> establishing a collective<br />
in which they met with each other, shared ideas and took the<br />
opportunity to engage with the <strong>Ministry</strong>.<br />
They voted unanimously to support a hui-a-iwi in New<br />
Plymouth, hosted by Te Atiawa, in November 2005, and in Patea,<br />
hosted by Ngä Rauru Kiitahi, in March <strong>2006</strong>. The March hui saw<br />
the appointment <strong>of</strong> chairman Mike Neho and secretary Wikitoria<br />
Keenan.<br />
Sam Tamarapa says getting the iwi together may have been<br />
time-consuming but the way was smoothed by his previous good<br />
relationships with many <strong>of</strong> them, dating back to 1999 when he<br />
started as a fisheries <strong>of</strong>ficer. His role then involved talking about<br />
customary regulations, identifying links with kaitiaki and with<br />
marae, hapu and iwi.<br />
“I had to tell everyone my role was changing and told them<br />
what the forums were about,” Sam says. “At the suggestion <strong>of</strong> a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> iwi representatives it was decided to build on what<br />
was already in place and that was iwi meeting together to discuss<br />
issues related to Te Ohu Kaimoana and the allocation process. It<br />
made sense to tag in MFish issues and that enabled a lot <strong>of</strong> buyin.”<br />
Forum secretary Wikitoria Keenan, who is also chair <strong>of</strong> Te<br />
Atiawa Iwi Authority, says the hui-a-iwi are already proving

useful, with much discussion about fisheries<br />
issues, allocation and Treaty settlements.<br />
“The forum provides very good networking,”<br />
Wikitoria says. “There’s no other forum<br />
where these iwi can get together - it’s<br />
probably the first time these 13 iwi have.<br />
This has led to being involved in the<br />
freshwater hui in Rotorua.”<br />
Forum chair Mike Neho will present a paper in the next few<br />
months identifying major challenges and issues individual iwi<br />
expect to face in the next five years. The critical few will be dealt<br />
with as a collective.<br />
“We want to get a positive outcome for building strategies for<br />
going forward rather than fixing up what’s been broken in the<br />
past,” Mike says. “We have to reaffirm that we are in this for the<br />
long-term.<br />
“We agree with the kaupapa that MFish can come to us as a<br />
collective voice rather than having to deal with a whole lot <strong>of</strong><br />
different iwi. But we need to determine how we enter into this<br />
relationship where we are still able to talk as individuals.<br />
“We also need to ensure that what we discuss at that level<br />
gets back to our hapu and marae.”<br />
Sam says one <strong>of</strong> the main drivers <strong>of</strong> the forum is to implement<br />
kaimoana customary fisheries regulations. The iwi are talking<br />
about all sorts <strong>of</strong> issues that are useful.<br />
“Participation is the key, enabling people to take part in<br />
MFish processes. That’s the ultimate goal from my perspective<br />
but in doing that we’re helping them understand what happens<br />
with the <strong>Ministry</strong>. In turn, the <strong>Ministry</strong> is getting an insight into<br />
particular issues <strong>of</strong> the area.”’<br />
Now the group is working towards its next hui, to be hosted<br />
by Te Atihaunui a Paparangi in Wanganui.<br />

New Year brings<br />
new opportunities<br />
Over the last 12 months we have experienced the birth<br />
<strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> new iwi forums. Now there are 8<br />
forums established, with others close to being set<br />
up.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> these forums have now set up working groups,<br />
specifically to work with the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong> on fisheries<br />
management issues. This model seems to give the best value for<br />
everyone concerned in providing tangata whenua input into the<br />
government’s fisheries management processes.<br />
In the year ahead, I see new opportunities and challenges. In<br />
particular, the opportunities <strong>of</strong> new unit-standard-based training<br />
for Tangata Kaitiaki / Tiaki, and the opportunities and challenges<br />
around the development <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong> Plans.<br />
The new educational package for Tangata Kaitiaki / Tiaki has<br />
been completed and registered with Seafood Industry Training<br />
Organisation (SITO). Having this training unit-standard-based<br />
means that anyone completing the course will now be able to<br />
cross-credit towards a national diploma in fisheries management,<br />
or some other NZQA-recognised qualifications.<br />
<strong>Fisheries</strong> plans involve the <strong>Ministry</strong> working with tangata<br />
whenua and stakeholders on how to get the best value from a<br />
particular fishery, while meeting relevant standards. These have<br />
begun with plans being developed for Foveaux Strait oyster,<br />
Coromandel Scallop, and southern blue whiting fisheries. Plans<br />
for other fisheries will be developed over the next few years.<br />
Also this year, we will be working to further develop MFish/<br />
iwi relationships in the Gisborne East Coast region. Towards this,<br />
a new Pou Hononga has been appointed to work with Tom<br />
Teneti, based out <strong>of</strong> our Gisborne <strong>of</strong>fice. We will be cover this<br />
more in our next issue.<br />

Carl Ross<br />
Customary Relationship Manager
Te Tau Ihu work<br />
to resolve issues<br />
Just as it took Maui time, standing at the top <strong>of</strong> the South<br />
Island, to fish up the North, so it is taking time for eight Top<br />
<strong>of</strong> the South iwi to hook into the big one <strong>of</strong> implementing<br />
the South Island customary fishing regulations.<br />
Pou Hononga Judith MacDonald says implementing the<br />
South Island customary regulations have not progressed in Te<br />
Tau Ihu since their introduction in 1998. While rohe moana<br />
applications were made to the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong>, these<br />
applications fell into the dispute resolutions process where they<br />
remain.<br />
“Now the eight iwi – Ngäti Kuia, Ngäti Apa ki te Ra To, Ngäti<br />
Koata, Ngäti Toa Rangatira, Ngäti Rarua, Ngäti Tama ,Te Atiawa<br />
and Rangitäne – are looking at ways to proactively resolve this<br />
and implement the regulations together. Six have already given<br />
their approval for a collective approach.”<br />
The iwi have been meeting for about a year to discuss the<br />
setting up <strong>of</strong> a Forum, sharing venues between Marlborough<br />
and Nelson. In May, iwi representatives met with MFish Deputy<br />
Chief Executive Stan Crothers in Blenheim for what, Judith says,<br />
was a very productive hui with much agreement reached.<br />
“The meeting helped resolve issues iwi wanted to progress<br />
such as kaitiaki applications across the top <strong>of</strong> the South Island,<br />
the implementation <strong>of</strong> the customary regulations, Pataka and<br />
the need for better access to <strong>Ministry</strong> people and information.<br />
The aquaculture settlement was also discussed.”<br />
Judith says the <strong>Ministry</strong> acknowledges it has had a long and<br />
good relationship with iwi at the Top <strong>of</strong> the South and is keen to<br />
formalise its relationship with Te Tau Ihu Iwi and move it<br />
forward.<br />
“It is early days in the development <strong>of</strong> an appropriate vehicle<br />
for iwi <strong>of</strong> Te Tau Ihu to have input and participation into the<br />
management <strong>of</strong> the fisheries in their rohe.”<br />
Meanwhile, the forum has developed a draft strategic plan<br />
and is looking at how they would manage fisheries across the<br />
top <strong>of</strong> the South Island. A Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding is also<br />
being developed with the <strong>Ministry</strong>.<br />
Customary gains<br />
Ngäi Tahu is steadily gaining<br />
customary protection for their<br />
iconic fisheries.<br />
A<br />
taiäpure-local fishery over most <strong>of</strong> Akaroa Harbour has<br />
been established; progress has been made on mätaitai<br />
reserve applications covering three important mahinga<br />
kai areas in the Otago/Catlins area; and a draft<br />
management plan for the established mätaitai reserve in Te<br />
Whaka a Te Wera (Paterson Inlet), Stewart Island has been<br />
developed.<br />
It’s taken 14 years for the Akaroa Harbour taiäpure-local<br />
fishery to be realised. The second established in the Ngäi Tahu<br />
whänui takiwä, this local fishery covers 90 percent <strong>of</strong> the<br />
harbour.<br />
The remaining 10 percent at the harbour’s eastern entrance<br />
– the long-disputed ‘Dan Rogers’ area, subject <strong>of</strong> a 1994 marine<br />
reserve proposal – remains outside the taiäpure-local fishery<br />
boundary for now. Ngäi Tahu environmental adviser (customary<br />
fisheries) Nigel Scott says it is hoped the taiäpure-local fishery<br />
will cover this remaining 10 percent in the future.<br />
Nigel says the inner third <strong>of</strong> the harbour is polluted due to<br />
the discharge <strong>of</strong> effluent. The middle third is significantly<br />
depleted and the remaining third, the Dan Rogers area and the<br />
western side <strong>of</strong> the harbour, is currently the major mahinga kai<br />
area for local marae.<br />
The Koukourarata, Onuku and Wairewa Runanga first<br />
proposed a taiäpure-local fishery for Akaroa Harbour in 1992, six<br />
years before a process was developed, under the South Island
for Ngäi Tahu<br />
customary fishing regulations, to establish mätaitai reserves.<br />
“Tangata whenua have worked incredibly hard to achieve<br />
this taiäpure-local fishery. They have never given up in the 14<br />
years it has taken to process the täiapure,” he says.<br />
The runanga have nominated the management committee<br />
members who will represent the three runanga, commercial<br />
and recreational fishers, marine farming interests and the<br />
tourism sector. The nominations are waiting to be approved by<br />
the Minister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong> – this requires consultation with the<br />
Minister <strong>of</strong> Mäori Affairs.<br />
An early focus <strong>of</strong> the management committee is expected to<br />
be restoration and enhancement through shellfish reseeding<br />
programmes, coupled with restrictions on shellfish and fish<br />
takes.<br />
Meanwhile, the consultation processes have been completed<br />
for mätaitai reserve applications at Nugget Point and Waikawa<br />
Harbour. It is proposed that the Puna-Wai-Toriki Mätaitai Reserve<br />
(Nugget Point) cover 2.8 km <strong>of</strong> coastline and encompass 234<br />
hectares. Recently the first step in the consultation process has<br />
been completed on the Moeraki mätaitai reserve application.<br />
“We are looking at ways to mitigate any potential impact on<br />
paua and cray fishers. The plan is to get the top three areas in<br />
the Paua 5D quota management area – Kaka Point, Waikawa<br />
and Moeraki – covered with some form <strong>of</strong> customary protection.<br />
Anything more than that is a bonus.”<br />

“Obviously we are assessing the<br />
cumulative effect <strong>of</strong> the three mätaitai<br />
reserve applications on commercial fishers.<br />
Mitigating action may be taken if it looks<br />
obvious there’s too much effect on<br />
commercial fishers, primarily because we<br />
know the applications are unlikely to be<br />
successful in that situation.”<br />
“We want to get something<br />
substantial, but need to find the middle<br />
ground – an area that doesn’t prevent the<br />
commercial guys from getting their quota<br />
but also doesn’t defeat the purpose <strong>of</strong> a<br />
mätaitai reserve. The design is important. If<br />
the reserves are too small the restoration<br />
objectives cannot be met.”<br />
On Stewart Island, a draft plan has been released for Te<br />
Whaka a Te Wera Mätaitai Reserve, and various bylaws have<br />
been implemented for the taking <strong>of</strong> paua, rock lobster, mako<br />
shark, blue cod and flatfish among others.<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> looking holistically (Ki Uta Ki Tai – Mountains to<br />
the Sea) at the fishery, the management plan also sets out various<br />
actions for working with other agencies on environmental issues<br />
– with Environment Southland to discourage boats discharging<br />
any sewage into the mätaitai reserve, and with MAF Biosecurity<br />
on the surveillance <strong>of</strong> existing pests like the invasive Japanese<br />
seaweed Undaria pinnitifida.<br />
Nigel Scott says Ngäi Tahu has planned a protection network<br />
for the entire takiwä. The three Paua 5D areas are top <strong>of</strong> the list<br />
at the moment. Other areas will follow in remaining quota<br />
management areas.<br />
“Having a range <strong>of</strong> tools is the key. We see recreational bag<br />
limits, the quota management system and Tangata Tiaki<br />
managing the customary harvest, along with tools such as<br />
regional coastal plans, as the regional ‘macro’ fisheries tools. But<br />
we still need the ‘micro’ management tools <strong>of</strong> mätaitai reserves,<br />
taiäpure-local fisheries and, in appropriate circumstances,<br />
marine reserves as part <strong>of</strong> the management mix. They are<br />
important for managing icon areas within the macro system.”<br />
“The main aim is to get the mix right. And that can only come<br />
by working together with various resource management agencies<br />
and fisheries stakeholders.”

Te Ika-a-Maui freshwater fisheries<br />
Participants at the first Te Ika-a-Maui freshwater fisheries hui. Tangata Rua Marae, Rotorua.<br />
Iwi from throughout the North Island are chipping away to<br />
create a waka that will take them into the future <strong>of</strong><br />
freshwater fisheries.<br />
“We’re still designing the waka to take us forward,” says<br />
spokesman John Merito, “but there are a lot <strong>of</strong> positive<br />
expectations <strong>of</strong> how this can be done.”<br />
The general manager <strong>of</strong> Te Kotahitanga o Te Arawa Waka<br />
<strong>Fisheries</strong> Trust Board says while the waka shape is yet to be<br />
determined, it is expected to remain true to Mäori values.<br />
“We’re looking at processes <strong>of</strong> how to collectively engage as<br />
iwi and with the Crown,” John says.<br />
“Eventually we will end up in a relationship with the <strong>Ministry</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong> but the beauty <strong>of</strong> the freshwater forum is that it<br />
provides North Island tribes with the ability to collectively look<br />
at issues that are common to us all. These include customary<br />
fisheries, commercial, compliance and environmental issues,<br />
the degradation <strong>of</strong> streams and new problems arising such as<br />
Didymo (‘rock snot’).<br />
“Underpinning all <strong>of</strong> this is that the organisation seems to be<br />
evolving as a ‘Mäori values’-driven organisation.<br />
“We will be careful that we remain true to our inherent<br />
values. I believe it will remain true to Mäori values. There is<br />
enough good sound leadership to ensure it makes steady<br />
progress.”<br />
The group is working swiftly. The idea <strong>of</strong> setting up an iwi<br />
forum group to deal specifically with freshwater fisheries such as<br />
eel, whitebait, koura and lamprey was discussed at the initial<br />
meeting in Rotorua in late March. In early June, the nominated<br />
working group got together again to look at progressing this.<br />
Both meetings were chaired by Te Arawa Trust Board chair<br />
Anaru Rangiheuea. In between the two hui, four working party<br />
meetings were held in Te Kuiti, Wanganui, Whakatane and<br />
Rotorua. Teleconferencing was used at times to allow<br />
geographically isolated groups to work together.<br />
“We’re getting smart about new technology which proves<br />
cost effective for meeting purposes,” Anaru says.<br />
He says the development <strong>of</strong> a forum is timely considering the<br />
Government is set to return the Waikato River to Tainui and that<br />
the Te Arawa Lakes Settlement Bill is before the House.<br />
“We can always interact directly with the minister in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
fisheries legislation but there is a need to gather appropriate<br />
skills and communicate with each other.”<br />
The outcome <strong>of</strong> the June hui was a formal motion to progress<br />
an iwi fisheries forum. Two options were discussed – whether to<br />
stay as an informal group or take on a more formal structure. A<br />
merging <strong>of</strong> options was favoured.<br />
“The forum is a communication tool. It will not be set up to<br />
undermine any tribal relationships with the ministry,” Anaru<br />
says. We didn’t want the forum to be seen to be speaking for iwi,<br />
which could comprise our members, when our role is to bring<br />
people together.”<br />
The forum expects to engage with both MFish and Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Conservation regarding regulatory overlaps such as Section<br />
27a for koura.<br />
“We also have tribes going to legislation doing their own<br />
customary regulations,” he says.<br />
“Customary and commercial eel fisheries are two issues<br />
facing us. Underpinning all that is sustainability and being able<br />
to provide for customary needs such as eels for funerals. Anything<br />
above that we need to work with MFish to ensure the commercial<br />
take has sound science behind it.”<br />
Pou Hononga operations manager Tom Teneti, who<br />
represented the <strong>Ministry</strong> at the June hui, says the forum is still in<br />
its early stages, but it looks promising.<br />
“We’re working with the working group to look at objectives<br />
and, long-term, a more formal arrangement,” Tom says. “A<br />
number <strong>of</strong> iwi have shown interest and more are watching from<br />
the periphery. The door is still open for other iwi to be at the<br />
table.<br />
“An interim working group has been developed to work<br />
through the objectives and guidelines for engaging with the<br />
ministry, and set priorities.<br />
“Logistically, because <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> iwi in the North<br />
Island, arranging meetings is not easy. So much planning is<br />
involved. Further ahead, it’s about providing a vehicle through<br />
which the <strong>Ministry</strong> can engage with tangata whenua over<br />
freshwater fisheries issues.”
