Submission to the New Marine Protected Areas Act: Consultation
Document

Resolution number MT/2016/20
MOVED
by Member J Bartley, seconded by Member BM Graham:
That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki
Local Board:
a) thanks Mary Binney, Local Board Advisor, for her attendance
to speak to this item;
b) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback
on the Ministry for the Environment’s discussion document ‘A New Marine
Protected Areas (MPA) Act’ to inform Auckland Council’s submission as part of
the public consultation process;
c) notes that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki
Local Board Plan prioritises environmental outcomes including biodiversity,
ecological restoration and water quality, and that the board has invested
heavily in projects and initiatives that support these aspirations including
water quality initiatives on the Tāmaki Estuary and Manukau Harbour;
d) notes its previously stated opposition to
the allocation of petroleum exploration permits for the Block Offer 2016,
highlighting in particular the plight of Maui’s dolphins;
e) notes a number of concerns about the
proposed new Act, in particular:
i)
the proposed new Act does
not go far enough to protect marine life and biodiversity generally;
ii)
the proposed new Act
overlaps with existing legislative tools, will create additional complexity
and potentially lead to confusion;
iii)
the inclusion of
‘recreational fishing parks’ as one of the four tools proposed within the
discussion document is inappropriate as the establishment of these proposed
parks would not be a marine protection mechanism, its purpose would be inconsistent
with the principles of marine protection, it is unlikely to enhance marine
biodiversity and could even have a detrimental impact on it;
iv)
legislative tools already
exist to manage commercial fishing and establishing a ‘recreational fishing
park’ on the Hauraki Gulf could result in displacement effects (for example
pushing commercial fishing or other fishing practices with significant
environmental impacts or risks such as set netting further out into the
Hauraki Gulf or into the Manukau Harbour);
v)
the local board would be
concerned to see an increase in commercial fishing or practices such as set
netting on the Manukau Harbour.
