A Northern Hawke s Bay iwi s 30 years of modern-day battles to protect the coastal and marine resources of its areas has unfolded in an air of disbelief in a High Court hearing now in its third week in Napier.
The hearing is based on an application by Mohaka and Raupunga-based Ngati Pahauwera for recognition of customary right under the Marine and Coastal Area Act, and is before Justice Peter Churchman and is being held in the Napier War Memorial Conference Centre. It relates to the area off the coast between Poututu Stream and the Esk River.
