新西兰在豪拉基湾建立了一个重要的海洋保护区,大大扩大了保护区,以恢复生态系统和支持毛利人的管理。 New Zealand created a major marine reserve in the Hauraki Gulf, significantly expanding protected areas to restore ecosystems and support Māori stewardship.

新西兰通过了《豪拉基湾/泰卡帕莫阿纳海洋保护法》,建立了该国最大的海洋保护区之一,保护区几乎增加了三倍,并建立了800平方公里的高保护区。 New Zealand has passed the Hauraki Gulf/Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Act, creating one of the country’s largest marine conservation zones, nearly tripling protected areas and establishing 800 square kilometers of high protection. 这项法律在部落、环境团体和公共运动的支持下,旨在恢复鱼类资源、海藻森林和海鸟生境,同时允许在某些区域有限捕鱼。 The law, backed by iwi, environmental groups, and public campaigns, aims to restore fish stocks, kelp forests, and seabird habitats, while allowing limited fishing in some zones. 尽管最后一分钟的修改推迟了对底拖网捕捞的全面禁止,削弱了对毛利人监护权的承认,但这一立法标志着扭转数十年生态衰落趋势的一个重大步骤。 Though last-minute changes delayed full bans on bottom trawling and weakened recognition of Māori guardianship, the legislation marks a major step in reversing decades of ecological decline. 这项保护努力得到增加资金和社区协作的支持,被视为对海湾的生物多样性、文化遗产和地方经济至关重要。 The protection effort, supported by increased funding and community collaboration, is seen as vital for the Gulf’s biodiversity, cultural heritage, and local economies.
