Illustration for Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011

You can have a protected customary right or customary marine title recognised in two ways. It can be recognised by an agreement made under section 95 and brought into effect under section 96. It can also be recognised by a Court order made after an application under section 100. You cannot have a protected customary right or customary marine title recognised in any other way. These are the only two ways to have it recognised. This applies to a specified part of the common marine and coastal area.
