M\u0101ori businesses are on track to be the largest commercial interest in Aotearoa New Zealand fisheries. M\u0101ori also have growing customary property rights and governing authority in the management of marine areas. We explored regulatory and policy tools to embed m\u0101tauranga M\u0101ori in sustainable commercial and customary fishing activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this project, we examined existing models and frameworks of m\u0101tauranga M\u0101ori used in the management of the marine ecosystem and economy. We analysed hap\u016b and iwi approaches to integrated management and identified the structures and operating principles of M\u0101ori marine organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research aimed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Identify policy and regulatory tools that foster marine ecosystem and economic management, and reflect M\u0101ori knowledge systems, values frameworks and operating principles<\/li>
  • Develop kaitiaki business models that embed M\u0101ori commercial activity within sustainable ecosystem processes<\/li>
  • Integrate kaitiaki business models with frameworks for the development of sustainability tracing and authentication systems that will capture premium for M\u0101ori marine products<\/li>
  • Support the commercialisation, extension or adoption of M\u0101ori marine management ideas, processes, and products that support economic and ecological development for marine resources and communities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
