Industry proposal
• 6 new QMAs• 100 million shares in each new QMA split on the same
basis as the current distribution• TACCs in new areas set at zero other than PAU2D• Good Will
– New QMAs aligned to iwi groupings– Iwi trade in and out of QMAs– 10% incentive - except PAU2D
• Support for localised Management
![Page 8: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Proposed Industry Boudaries
![Page 9: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Legal Position• Any subdivision or amalgamation under Fisheries Act requires
Minister’s approval• Proposal cannot unduly prejudice any quota owner who owns
shares and opposes• Can make recommendation to subdivide if
– greater than 75% support; or– necessary for sustainability
• Proposal must include – Boundaries proposed– Manner in which quota shares apportioned– Interests of any aggrieved quota owner
• Proposal allows you to suspend normal allocation rules for Settlement quota if all iwi in QMA agree
![Page 10: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Working Group Views
• Support the subdivision proposal in principle subject to issues in each proposed QMA being resolved
• The PAU2 QMA is too big to manage as one paddock
• The opportunity is there for iwi to better protect and grow their commercial and non-commercial interests in the paua fishery
• Opportunity for Iwi to further invest in the commercial paua fishery, inside and outside their respective areas
![Page 11: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Current and Future StatesCurrent State:•Customary fishing is constrained•No or little recognition of important mahinga kai•Lacking systems and processes to support effective fisheries management decision making•Poor compliance•MPAs still to come•No $$ resourcing
Future State:•Kaitiaki trust•Important mahinga kai and non-commercial areas are recognised and managed appropriately•Improving fishery officer and HFO networks to support fisheries management•Hapu involvement in commercial development•Catch information sharing/systems are in place for recreation•Kaitiaki are adequately supported•Kaitiaki and Iwi Fish Managers influencing the effective and efficient management of the paua fishery

Anticipating Two Steps?
1. Request Minister to subdivide PAU2 QMA
2. Staged removal of constraining regulations where it is appropriate and implementation of management strategies (opportunity to realign management to new desired state)

The Working Group Recommendations
1. Iwi/Industry Agreement– Develop overarching principles– Develop specific QMA Agreements where supported by iwi– Clarify commercial arrangements
2. Iwi agreements required– Quota Shareholders agreement – who gets what?
– Internal swaps and trades possible
– Boundaries
![Page 25: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Iwi/Industry Generic Agreement
Examples of overarching principles:•No sectors should be worse off •High level agreements regarding management•Stock assessments used to inform TAC settings•Protection of important mahinga kai•Collaborative management strategy – looking after local communities•Customary non-commercial fishing interests are managed as a priority •Kaitiaki Trust
![Page 26: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Specific Agreements
Arrangements in each QMA that can be agreed prior to a proposal being submitted to Minister•Mataitai•Taiapure•Areas managed under different strategies i.e customary, commercial, recreation, integrated
![Page 27: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Commercial Interests
• 10% settlement quota shares in each new QMA, up from 8.2%
• 10% additional quota shares in each new QMA to be allocated to iwi
• 10% quota shares set aside for Kaitiaki Trust, partnership between iwi and stakeholders
• Local iwi have rights of first refusal on all “normal quota shares” held in each new QMA. Other iwi have second rights and Te Ohu Group have third right
![Page 28: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Allocation Scenario – Settlement Shares
• Scenario 1 (the default): current settlement shares mirrored in each new QMA (As per MFA):– No practical change on “day one”: no-one worse off– Opportunity consolidate shares within different QMAs by
trading, if desired– Te Ohu allocate shares it holds as though no subdivision– Any subsequent changes would need to follow Maori
Fisheries Act procedures to carry out sales or exchanges.
![Page 29: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Scenario 2: Allocate only to those iwi whose coastline is in each new QMA:– Agreement to change current proportions made up-front
(part of Quota Owner Agreement under Fisheries Act) – Avoid need to trade later in order to consolidate shares
in “your own back yard” – But: iwi with no coastline interest in PAU2D receive no
income from current commercial harvest– Te Ohu allocates shares it holds as per agreement
between MIOs– If not agreed by all iwi, revert to Scenario 1.
Allocation Scenario – Settlement Shares
![Page 30: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Allocation Scenario
• Scenario 3: Allocate only to those iwi in each new QMA (except retain current proportions in PAU2D):– Iwi continue to hold shares in PAU2D and therefore
receive income as now– Allocation for other 5 new QMAs agreed up-front
(as for Scenario 3)– Te Ohu allocates shares in PAU2D as though no
subdivision; Te Ohu allocates in other QMAs according to iwi agreement
– Any changes to PAU2D can be made through sales or exchange provisions of Maori Fisheries Act
– If not agreed by all iwi, revert to Scenario 1
![Page 31: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Recommend Allocation Methodology
• Based on feedback from iwi• 10% settlement quota - allocation based
on current arrangements• 10% commercial incentive – allocated only
to those iwi in each QMA
Quota share sales and swaps anticipated• Consolidate• Swap with PAU 2D• MFA rules suspended in the transition
![Page 32: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Iwi Doing Their Own Research?
• What are the iwi aspirations in each proposed new QMA?
• Need to do a stock take – how big are the reefs and what is the potential?
• What areas (within QMAs) have potential to be opened for commercial development?
• What are the needs of non-customary fishers?
• Illegal harvest – how big a problem is it?
• Where are the important customary fishing areas and how can they best be managed?
![Page 33: PAUAMAC2 - Industry Proposal to Subdivide PAU2 into 6 new Quota Management Areas](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145e5550346895db2e588/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Process Moving Forward
• Feedback to representatives or Te Ohu by Nov 9th
• Working group will review recommendations• Hui a iwi with MIO and AHCs – 6 December –
final recommendations• If the proposal is not supported? • If the proposal is supported:
– Negotiations with industry– Further report back to iwi
