The Government response to Tai Timu Tai Pare, the first marine spatial plan—Sea Change—that was launched in 2016, needs to be comprehensive. It needs to follow that objective of the Hauraki Gulf Forum to protect 30 percent of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. It needs to overhaul fisheries management so that we see stocks being allowed to restore. It needs to outlaw bottom-contact methods like bottom trawling and like dredging, so that the seabed can recover. The Green Party strongly supports that goal of the Hauraki Gulf Forum and also its ambition to restore 100,000 hectares of shellfish beds so that their filtering capacity can restore the clarity and the clean water in the gulf.
