Six new marine reserves to be established (all going well on October 14) and local iwi will become management partners
Willow-Jean Prime and Rachel Brooking have struck another blow for conservation, in the last-gasp days of the 2020-23 Labour Government. Whether they have successfully struck a blow for their job conservation will become plain on October 14.
They have announced plans for six new marine reserves between Timaru and the Catlins – and for the establishment of another Crown-iwi partnership. The new marine reserves will be managed by Kāi Tahu in partnership with the Department of Conservation.
