I am pleased to note that Ngāi Tahu, the largest iwi in Southland, and, in fact, in the South Island, signed an aquaculture settlement with the Crown last year. This is a positive development for Southland and the Māori economy. Representatives of the Hokonui, Waihopai, Awarua, and Ōraka-Aparima Papatipu Rūnaka signed the agreement, which provides Ngāi Tahu marine space to develop their aquaculture industry. This will help get te Murihiku kaimoana to the world and help their aspirations so as to diversify the Southland economy, leading to new jobs and new opportunities.
