95G: Meaning of affected customary marine title group

You could also call this:

"What is an affected customary marine title group in New Zealand law?"

When you are looking at a customary marine title group, it is called an affected customary marine title group if an activity in their area may have bad effects on their rights under the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. This happens when the group has not given written approval for the activity before a decision is made. You need to think about whether the activity will affect the group's rights.

The group's rights are the ones that apply to them under subpart 3 of Part 3 of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. If the activity may have bad effects and the group has not approved it, then they are an affected customary marine title group. This is important to consider when making decisions about activities in their area.
