  3. Introduction • Quota Management System (QMS) introduced by Government in 1986 • Maori Commercial Fisheries Settlement 1992 • “Shared Fisheries” discussion document released by MFish in November 2006

  4. Expropriation “The act of taking title to property owned by a private party without that party’s consent under the authority of a law or statute”

  5. Managing Recreational Catch • Focus of the Shared Fisheries document • Largely a recreational problem • Obligations of the recreational sector • Exemptions as a result of the document

  6. What does this proposal mean? Settlement Assets

  7. Who’s share is being shared? TO Off these two Settlement Assets

  8. Nature & Extent of Settlement • Settlement being undermined by document • Re-allocation of customary and commercial allowances will affect Maori • Creation of a wedge between commercial and customary Maori rights • Trade-offs between Maori commercial and non-commercial components • Any re-allocation in one of those two sectors will affect the other

  9. Impact to our Iwi shareholders if allocation reoccurs AFL Quota Portfolio (all key “shared” fisheries)

  10. Classic Case of Clawback “Taking rights back from people that were legitimately secured”

  11. Who best to make Trade Offs? They Say “Fisheries resources should be shared out by government on the basis of best value” We Say “Maori should determine how our fisheries taonga /assets are used

  12. Solutions • Complete the rights-based framework • Ensure Customary rights are explicit and quantifiable • Consolidate the management of commercial and non-commercial components of the Settlement • Implement an ‘Advocacy & Lobbying Strategy’ • Develop and incorporate commercial perspectives within our approach

  13. What you can do • Develop your own submission and provide to MFish by 28 February 2007 • Support the submissions of AFL / Te Ohu based on the approach outlined today • Meet with your people to alert them and encourage them to make a submission and / or support the submissions of AFL / Te Ohu • SayNO to expropriation say YES to willing buyer willing seller transparent reallocation mechanisms

  14. Shared Fisheries Concept ….. YEAH RIGHT!!!
