About

Vision

Iwi and hapu have long realised that their present role in freshwater fi sheries either customary, noncommercial customary or commercial is not consistent with their traditional values and tikanga.

Our vision, therefore, is simple:

that iwi / Maori control their Freshwater Fisheries

The task of Wai Maori, in collaboration with iwi / Maori is to enable iwi and hapu to reassert their mana over their freshwater fi sheries and to exercise effective kaitiakitanga over one of their most precious taonga.

It may not be easy but we have identifi ed several areas where we believe we can make signifi cant inroads in freshwater fi sheries for the direct and indirect benefi t of Maori.
