An advocate for protection of the Hauraki Gulf says she wants to build a national network to ensure Māori views of marine protection are given the status they deserve.
Kelly Klink from Aotea Great Barrier says the long and costly battle to stop an increase in the dumping of dredge waste from Auckalnd Harbour in Tikapa Moana revealed how little the voices of mana whenua matter in the planning system.
She says Saturday’s Hikoi mo te Moana in Auckland will include people involved in other occupations and protest actions around the country where the marine environment is under threat of development.
