Description: Section 186A & B of the Fisheries Act 1996 allows the Minister of Fisheries to temporarily close an area to fishing. The specific purpose is to provide for the use and management practices of tängata whenua in the exercise of their customary rights and they are designed to respond to localised depletion of fisheries resources.Temporary closures are designed to respond to localised depletion of fisheries resources. Note that in this context, Tängata Whenua means the hapu or iwi that hold manawhenua in the area. Anyone (not just Tängata Whenua) can request a s 186A (North Island/ Chathams) and 186B (South Island) temporary closure, but the legislation is designed for customary purposes so must meet that purpose and have the support of Tängata Whenua if they are not the applicants.This layer is only a geographic representation of s 186 closures and contains all states and statuses of a given s 186. Only those that have been gazetted are enforceable under law.
