HAURAKI GULF FORUM VOTE TO UPDATE ACT
Hauraki Gulf Forum members have voted to adopt an advocacy position to update and strengthen the Marine Park Act.
The key updates the Forum will be seeking are:
* a refresh of the Forum to reflect our commitment to a Treaty partnership and enable us to be a more effective advocacy body.
“We also know that Kiwis overwhelmingly support this. Our recent public poll showed huge support for doing more to protect and restore the Gulf, with massive numbers also in favour of the use of indigenous practices like rāhui.
“I look forward to taking our proposal to Ministers as I am convinced that we will see far greater action and transformational change by raising the status of the Hauraki Gulf for decision-makers and through revitalisation of the Forum under a Treaty partnership model.”.....
