Unite, Unite, unite above, unite below unite within, unite without unite the people it is life. Protect the sea, protect the whenua, protect our ceremonial courtyards and the people will prosper. To you of chiefly status, the Ministers; Ministry for Primary Industries and Department of Conservation Salutations, we exchange greetings Many and diverse are our callings. This is the report that the Forum lay before you to you the two Ministers for your careful and considered action. The Forum were committed to the appropriate protection of the treasures of Takaroa in the south-east region, both inshore and offshore. The aspirations of Kāi Tahu and the community of stakeholders worked collaboratively and energetically in good faith. Our thoughts for the two Forum members Pauline Reid and Nelson Cross who have passed, farewell, rest. Returning to the kaupapa this represents the end of our work the cloak has been weaved to protect the moana and fishery habitat of Takaroa. FOREWORD The South-East Marine Protection Forum – Te Roopu Manaaki ki te Toka (the Forum) was established in April 2014, marking the beginning of a nationally significant and ambitious consultative process to deliver to Government recommendations for a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on the south-east coast of Aotearoa me Te Waiponamu – the South Island of New Zealand. This government-appointed Forum is made up of 16 people who between them represent manawhenua, commercial and recreational fishers, the environmental, science and tourism sectors, and the wider community, as well as an independent chair. Kāi Tahu, in recognition of their Treaty partner status, selected their representatives whom the Minister then appointed. The Forum’s work is part of New Zealand’s international commitment to protecting marine biodiversity in order to help safeguard the long-term viability of habitats and ecosystems. The south-east coast of the South Island from Timaru to Waipapa Point is characterised by the mixing of subantarctic waters with warmer waters, deep offshore canyons that are relatively close to the shoreline, inshore reefs and estuaries; and its abundant biodiversity includes giant kelp forests and deep-water bryozoan thickets, which are rare globally. From the outset, the Forum members were aware of the magnitude of the task in front of them and the challenges that a multi-sector group would have to face when striving to determine community aspirations over such a long stretch of coast in order to reach consensus in decision making. What they couldn’t know was that this process would consume their lives for three and a half years. As Chair, I observed each and every member demonstrating a tireless commitment to stakeholder engagement during that time, both prior to and during the public consultation process. Testimony to their dedication and the far-reaching nature of their engagement was the volume of public submissions received – an overwhelming 2803, which equated to over 10,000 pages of feedback. The public’s response reinforced the importance of the coast and its marine environment to the communities that live, work and relax here. The values expressed helped inform the Forum’s deliberations: from kaitiakitaka (guardianship) and customary use to the transfer of mātauraka (traditional knowledge) from generation to generation; from lifestyles and livelihoods to the importance of fishing to individuals and industry; and from regional pride in marine mammals and seabirds to the singular appreciation of the dramatic coast. When the Forum began the process of working towards a network design, it did so in the knowledge that there was no pre-determined outcome. Forum members have worked collaboratively and in a manner that has been respectful to all parties, and have always been mindful of giving effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement. 8 In striving for consensus, the Treaty partner and all stakeholder groups made concessions, to the point where all may feel compromised with the final recommendations from their own perspective. However, that takes nothing away from the time, energy and service that all Forum members have brought to the table, and the pride they should feel collectively for the process that was undertaken with the time and resources available – not to mention the resource that these recommendations provide for the Government tasked with their implementation. As Chair of the Forum, I have been privileged to spend time with this hard-working, good- humoured and dedicated group of people. Their commitment and passion for the marine environment and the people it supports was evident in their tenacity, depth of knowledge and ongoing determination in the face of numerous setbacks and challenges to see this process through. The outcome is a report that we know will be relied upon for the next stage of implementing a network of MPAs for the south-east coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

The sites are all prominent headlands – Katiki (Moeraki peninsula), Matakaea (Shag Point) and Huriawa (Karitane Peninsula) – strategic strongholds occupied by Maori for hundreds of years. Archaeological evidence of occupation dates back to the 12th Century. Since the Käi Claims Settlement Act of 1998, all three sites are managed in partnership between the Department of Conservation and Te Runanga o Käi Tahu. The Crown also formally recognised Matakaea’s special cultural, spiritual and historic significance of matakaea for Käi Tahu, by designating it as a topuni.

  • WILD at HEART Albatrosses and Sea Lions, Little Blue Penguins and Takahē Live Next Door to Humans in Dunedin, a City Perched on a Knot of Land on the Otago Coastline
    ADVERTISING FEATURE | DUNEDIN NZ WILD AT HEART Albatrosses and sea lions, little blue penguins and takahē live next door to humans in Dunedin, a city perched on a knot of land on the Otago coastline. THERE IS ONLY one place in the world where albatrosses nest on the mainland, and it’s no coincidence that it’s a fort. The terraces that were once part of a pā site at Taiaroa Head provide ideal platforms for albatross nests, and the windy, exposed promontory that affords a six-inch gun a view of the sea to ward off a Russian invasion makes a perfect airstrip for incoming adult birds. This season, there are 28 chicks in the colony, with 56 adults coming in to feed them at any one time. The chicks are sitting on their nests, dotted white across the headland. I walk up to the viewing area and peer through binoculars at their beautiful bulk and serious-looking expressions.
