New Zealand opens five marine reserves with groundbreaking Māori co-management
Five new marine reserves now shield 308 square kilometers of Otago's stunning coastline, ensuring that vital marine habitats receive full no-take protection. The decision-making power for these waters will be a shared responsibility between Kāi Tahu and the government, creating a pioneering governance model that blends Indigenous stewardship with official conservation systems. This initiative has the potential to revolutionise marine protection efforts throughout New Zealand. from World News, Today World News, Latest International News, World Breaking News, Trending News of World - Times of India https://ift.tt/n7Qsheg
