Rout M, Reid J, Mika J, Whitehead J, Gillies A, Wiremu F, McLellan G & Ruha C (2024)

Indigenising the blue economy in Aotearoa New Zealand (Rout et al 2024) examines the significant role Māori play in the marine sector and the potential benefits of transitioning towards a sustainable blue economy, highlighting the constraints Māori face in transitioning to a blue economy. These constraints include existing laws and systems, particularly the Quota Management System (QMS), and treaty settlement legislation relating to fisheries. To address these constraints the paper proposes a Māori-aligned approach that fits with the ethos of te ao Māori.
