The data set is currenlty supplied by Stephen Beatson, Senior Fisheries Analyst, Aquaculture & Fisheries Permitting. Nelson.
The Marine Farms layer is a collection of Marine Farm data from various sources, to start with.
This includes marine farms were collected by Hamish Rennie as part of a PHD in2004; these were digitised from the SO plans used in the applications for permits. Further collection was carried out by OmniLink on behalf of the Ministry of Fisheries and was completed in March 2007 as follows:“In 2006 the Ministry of Fisheries (MFish) commissioned Omnilink Ltd to survey NewZealand local government agencies (city, district and regional councils) on the availability of coastal data that is maintained in electronic form via a geographic information system (GIS). Following the survey, MFish contracted OmniLink tocollect data from each council and collate into a national dataset.”Some marine farms have been added from further direct contact with the respective councils.
NOTE: Councils may collect their data differently and assign different attributeswhich can cause some farms to be matched with varying levels of accuracy.
Methods of data capture include:
1. Digitised from aerial photography.
2. Plotted from coordinates, supplied by permit holder or from council records.
3. Digitised from council records.
Local or regional council name Method of data capture: Environment Waikato Digitised from aerial photography. Tasman district council UnknownNorthland district council Unknown. Marlborough district council Unknown. Nelson City council Unknown. Environment Bay of Plenty Unknown.

The Aquaculture Settlement Areas coordinates layer was created by capturing the coordinates asstated in the notices in the New Zealand Gazette on the 29th of September 2011and from subsequent datesand then used to build polygons from.The areas in the layer are aquaculture management areas that have been allocatedto iwi. There is an obligation for 20% of aquaculture management areas to be allocated to iwi.For more information regarding the Maori Commercial Aquaculture ClaimsSettlement Act, please refer to the Ministry of Fisheries website:http://www.fish.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/9519F015-6A48-48F3-8E33-723F28211224/0/2011_settlement.pdfThe data gets updated as and when a new ASA is gazetted or indeed when an existing ASA is amended or removed via gazette notice.
