If kaitiaki have been formally appointed for your rohe, you’ll need to get written permission from one of them. You can email info@mpi.govt.nz for information about exactly who you can get permission from.
If no kaitiaki have been formally appointed for your rohe, you’ll need to get written permission from either:
Fisheries (Amateur Fishing) Regulations 2013, reg 50(2)
the committee for your marae
the local rūnanga
a local Māori Committee established under the Māori Community Development Act 1962

You’ll need to keep the written permission with you, ready to show to fisheries officers if necessary.
