That documentary is embarrassingly wrong, the overwhelming majority of companies fishing in NZ waters are huge multinationals, not owned by Māori.

    Well I can't see how thats the case when you can easily look up catch right and special areas where only Maori can fish.

    They must be selling off their rights or not using it then because the internet says otherwise. Or you are just making things up.

    So the Wikipedia article claims that Māori control about 30% of fisheries, with many citations, do you have real evidence which contradicts this? This includes things like Sealord which is one of the biggest quota owners, but is only half owned by iwi, so a genuine number would be quite a lot lower than that 30%. That's not to say that there aren't problems with the management, we agree about that.

    "Altogether, Māori enterprises account for 40 percent of New Zealand's forestry, 50 percent of the country’s fishing quota,"

    They are also allowed to fish in ways white people aren't and in place they aren't.

    If you google iwi veto sanctuary I'm sure would will find that easy enough. So I'm done with the back and forth now.
