Foreshore & Seabed

That Ngāi Tahu Whānui consider the fundamental objective of the replacement framework should be to recognise and provide for the expression of mana over the foreshore and seabed, and that this should be reflected in clear statutory terms.

Ngāi Tahu will not support any proposal that does not achieve this.
