So the Wikipedia article claims that Māori control about 30% of fisheries, with many citations, do you have real evidence which contradicts this?

That’s not to say that there aren’t problems with the management, we agree about that.

If you google iwi veto sanctuary I’m sure would will find that easy enough. So I’m done with the back and forth now.
