HAVE YOUR SAY ON HĀKAIMANGŌ-MATIATIA MARINE RESERVE PROPOSALAs part of the application process, a two-month public submissions period opened on 20 January 2022. DOC is encouraging people to share their views on the application by providing written submissions before 20 March 2022. The applicants, Friends of the Hauraki Gulf Inc., have proposed an area of 2,350 ha be protected as a marine reserve. The proposed reserve spans from Hakaimango Point to Matiatia Bay and extends seaward. Natasha Ryburn says targeted engagement with tangata whenua including affected iwi, hapū and whānau is underway as part of DOC’s role in the process. “We are seeking hui with iwi, hapū and whānau to gain a robust understanding of their views to help advise the Minister of Conservation.”..... www.nationaltribune.com.au/have-your-say-on-hakaimango-matiatia-marine-reserve-proposal/
