Chair of Te Ohu Kai Moana Jamie Tuuta on Paakiwaha
The Maori fisheries settlement trust has filed papers in the High Court challenging the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary Bill introduced last week.
Chair Jamie Tuuta says the sanctuary will close off Fisheries Management Area 10, which all iwi have quota in.
He says Maori have been totally ignored. There has always been an understanding since the 1992 Fisheries Settlement, that the government would sit down and discuss and proposals with iwi and Maori.
