The implementation of ecosystem-based management in New Zealand – A Māori perspective

Reid J and Rout M (2020) Marine Policy 117

Highlights

Traditional Māori marine governance was ‘ecosystem’-based.
Māori have spent decades reclaiming marine governance and property rights.
EBM could be considered ‘governance by stealth’, posing a threat to these gains.
Any EBM in New Zealand must ensure Māori are engaged.
