Otago South Coast MPA proposalsThere have been five marine protection forums established to date tasked with planning marine protection and management of coastal waters in New Zealand. They have all been different in structure and process. Otago South Coast and Hauraki Gulf are currently in the later stages of their process, leading to recommendations to the Government. We have created an information page for each of these processes to assist in learning about the challenges and opportunities for future forums.
