For example, the bill would enable Moriori to make use of a primary industries protocol that would allow aspects of environmental management and the participation of Moriori in things like national fishing plans and managing non-commercial fisheries in a customary way, including the use of rāhui. The importance of that management for the people of Rēkohu shouldn't be underestimated. But it also provides for a framework where the Ministry for Primary Industries interacts with Moriori in relation to biosecurity, and noting the following views of Moriori—which I quote from the schedule to the deed of settlement—that "the indigenous biodiversity of Rēkohu/Chatham Islands is a core part of Moriori natural and cultural heritage, and is important to the social and economic well-being of the residents of Rēkohu/Chatham Islands; pests and diseases not currently present on Rēkohu/Chatham Islands could pose a serious threat to Moriori cultural values and limit future opportunities to provide for the social and economic wellbeing of residents of Rēkohu/Chatham Islands; despite the significant physical distance between Rēkohu/Chatham Islands and mainland New Zealand, threats to biodiversity from pests and diseases are still possible and measures to enhance protection for Rēkohu/Chatham Islands may need to be considered; the benefits of guarding against biosecurity threats to Rēkohu/Chatham Islands have the potential to include the islands becoming a source of disease-free flora and fauna that could be of benefit to mainland New Zealand."
