Kia ora, nau mai ki Maitai Bay

The Rāhui

In 2017 Te Whānau Moana/Te Rorohuri laid a rāhui over the area to stop all fishing and taking of seafood in order to allow the area to recover.

You can help by refraining from removing any shellfish / fish from the area.

The Rāhui Kōrero

Hear the kōrero behind Maitai Bay, the rāhui, and the pou that remind us to protect our kaimoana, whenua and future generations.

Pou, place and protection

The pou above Maitai Bay are symbolic of the rāhui, standing as a reminder to care for the moana, the whenua and each other.

They represent the people of this area and the ocean within that space, helping keep the kaupapa visible for future generations.

This film was made during an earlier stage of the Maitai Bay rāhui journey. It remains an important record of the kaupapa.

Since then, restoration work has continued, and the kina issue is now under control in the main Maitai Bay and campground area where culling has taken place under Traditional Authority.
