New Zealand Marine Reserves: Bureaucratic Surplusage Or Community-Driven Conservation?, James Mize
New Zealand Marine Reserves: Bureaucratic Surplusage Or Community-Driven Conservation?, James Mize
James Mize
Management authorities increasingly view marine reserves - areas of the ocean environment where no extraction of marine life is allowed - as a valuable tool for protecting areas of high biodiversity and as a buffer against scientific uncertainty in managing marine ecosystems. Such measures, however, are not without controversy as communities reliant upon these resources often resist exclusion from their traditional grounds. Thus, efforts at implementing marine reserves as conservation tools have not met widespread acceptance. As a result, marine reserves are oft designated in areas away from the interest of commercial, recreational, or customary users. In some other locations, …

James Mize
The oceans are one of earth’s most valuable natural resources, yet they continue to be threatened by pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and coastal sprawl.

Integrating Indigenous Cultural Traditions In The Management Of Protected Marine Resources – The Fiordland Example, James Mize
James Mize
Indigenous communities that rely upon natural resources for their cultural practices and livelihood depend on the health of the ecosystem for traditional practices to continue. Yet government efforts to protect ecosystem integrity by “locking up” resources in spatially-explicit management regimes that prohibit resource use risks the disruption of indigenous cultural traditions compatible with sustainability. This tension can be seen in the Te Wāhipounamu / South West New Zealand (Fiordland) area, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, subject to increasing pressure from visitors and other non-traditional use. New Zealand statutes governing the management of adjacent marine resources recognize and incorporate Māori …
