FAR NORTH IWI AND HAPŪ UNITE TO SEEK CUSTOMARY TITLE OVER COASTLINE AND SEAA group of Far North iwi and hapū have united to take a landmark case to the High Court, seeking customary title over a large swath of the coastline to protect the moana for all. A spokesman for the group, Reuben Taipari, said the hapū and iwi have been concerned for generations about the degradation of the sea, and if granted, customary marine title (CMT) would benefit everybody in the Far North, as well as visitors and tourists who want to visit the area. The groups signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to go forward together in an application for a High Court case in the next two years..... www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/far-north-iwi-and-hapu-unite-to-seek-customary-title-over-coastline-and-sea/JEJY4IBQV5GHRFMHHXNBIY2VNI/
