  11. Issues facing Aotearoa Fisheries Limited • Ongoing commercial success and profitability are the key requirements of durability • Re-empower Maori in the management of customary and commercial fisheries • Common interest to protect property rights • AFL’s support for Iwi organisations

  12. Issues facing the Industry • Value of the dollar • Dilution of property rights • MFish costs and performance • Environmental Lobby • Distance from Markets • New species into the QMS • Fisheries management by owners • Overcapitalisation of quota • Seafood prices • Size of the industry • National and world economies

  13. Value of the Dollar • Only enduring solution is to focus on long-run efficiency, by minimising costs and maximising revenues

  14. Erosion of Property Rights • Continued presence of illegal catch • Dilution of the term utilisation • Reallocation of increases in stock abundance • Quality of aquaculture property rights

  15. Ministry of Fisheries • Cost of administering the fisheries sector • Improved performance, accountability and transparency • Performance of the compliance division to be improved

  16. Environmental Lobby • Concept of “sustainable utilisation” • Unbalanced emphasis placed on preservation within the environmental lobby

  17. Distance from Markets • Best information, communication and technology to overcome distance from international markets • Difference in the world market must be maintained and defended

  18. New Species into the QMS • AFL agrees with the principle that fisheries should be either open or in the QMS

  19. Fisheries Management by the Owners Purpose of the Act – “provide for the utilisation of fisheries resources while ensuring sustainability”. Utilisation means – “conserving, using, enhancing and developing fisheries to enable people to provide for their social, economic and cultural well-being”.

  20. Over-capitalisation of Quota • Maximising the value of ITQ can be difficult to explain or sustain • AFL has adopted an EVA performance framework – all investment is charged a weighted average cost of capital

  21. Seafood Prices • Success for some operators and species to grow the domestic market • Tough year for rock lobster • Volatile worldwide markets • Expect great opportunities for seafood sector with China

  22. Size of the Industry • Is it sensible for New Zealand to run their own half full trucks? • Can co-operation unlock economies of scale?

  23. World Economies • Knowledge on developments in the world economies and trade relationships between countries • Acknowledge the work of Alastair Macfarlane and the group within NZ Trade & Enterprise

  24. Moving forward : AFL’s approach • Divisionalisation of wholly-owned companies • Establishment of head office in Wellington • Adoption of EVA framework to plan and measure the performance of divisions and people

  25. What can we do smarter? • Unified approach to protect the QMS • Multiple uses should be matched with multiple responsibilities • Rationalisation within the industry • Improve the approach to managing our assets
