- Summary
- Pre-publication version downloaded from www.waitangitribunal.govt.nz This inquiry began with a 2016 application for an urgent hearing into the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.1 Those first applicants, representing the Northland coastal hapū of Te Kapotai, claimed the Act was undermining and eroding their customary and common law rights over the takutai moana in their rohe. It was quickly followed by 16 more applications also seeking an urgent hearing into the Act.
