95F: Meaning of affected protected customary rights group
or “This law explains when a group with special rights to use the sea and coast can be affected by someone else's activities in that area.”
You could also call this:

“ This explains when a group with special rights to coastal areas needs to be told about activities that might affect them. ”

A customary marine title group is considered an affected customary marine title group when an activity might happen in their customary marine title area. This applies to accommodated activities. For a group to be considered affected, two things need to be true:

First, the activity might make it harder for the group to use their rights. These rights are described in subpart 3 of Part 3 of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.

Second, the group hasn’t said it’s okay for the activity to happen. They need to tell the consent authority in writing that they approve before the authority makes a decision about this.
