Abstract
Societal values are crucial for the prioritisation of activities within the marine environment and are therefore fundamental to successfully implementing Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) in New Zealand (NZ). Documenting Social Values (Mauri Moana) is a research project within the Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge (NSC) that is exploring how societal values for the marine environment like intrinsic and recreational along with Māori values are integrated into EBM.Using a case study approach, we explore how Māori values are catered for within planning approaches and institutions for Tauranga Moana (Tauranga Harbour). Through our earlier work in the Sustainable Seas NSC, we developed a framework (He Waka Taurua) for a NZ marine management system that was informed by EBM and mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge). The current study further elaborates on the components that form a proposed NZ marine management system based on the Tauranga Moana case study. This framework provides a useful approach for informing how co-governance institutions can manage the different values and aspirations of Māori, and local communities with government institutions to support healthy oceans and healthy people.
