| Abstract: | The introduction of innovative fishery policies in New Zealand has recently attracted international attention. The introduction of an ITQ system was premised on the notion of Crown ownership of fishery resources. Conflict has accompanied these policies as Maori people have challenged the government over ownership of fishery resources and declaimed the skewed impact of
the fishery policies. This paper examines the source of these problems focussing
particularly on the Treaty of Waitangi negotiated in 1840 between the Crown and heads of Maori tribes. The Treaty guaranteed to Maori the full, exclusive and undisturbed possession of their fisheries and other properties, guarantees which were until recently ignored. The Crown has subsequently
ceded some authority over and ownership of fishery resources to Maori. |
