新西兰在2024年法院裁决扩大索赔范围后,通过了一项法律,对习惯海洋所有权规则作了澄清。 New Zealand passed a law clarifying customary marine title rules after a 2024 court decision expanded claims.

新西兰议会于2025年10月21日通过了《海洋和沿海区(Takutai Moana)(习惯海洋产权)修正法案》,以澄清和加强承认习惯海洋产权的标准。 New Zealand's Parliament passed the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) (Customary Marine Title) Amendment Bill on October 21, 2025, to clarify and strengthen the criteria for recognizing customary marine title (CMT). 最初于2011年颁布的法律要求证明自1840年以来对沿海地区的持续、专有的使用和占领。 The law, originally enacted in 2011, requires proof of continuous, exclusive use and occupation of coastal areas since 1840. 该修正案回应了2024年最高法院对Re Edwards一案的裁决,该裁决扩大了CMT裁决的范围,导致大量海岸线索赔。 The amendment responds to a 2024 Supreme Court ruling in Re Edwards that broadened CMT awards, leading to large coastline claims. 政府表示该改变恢复了议会的初衷, 确保CMT只有在有详细记录的具体领域才获批准。 The government says the change restores Parliament’s original intent, ensuring CMT is granted only in well-documented, specific areas. CMT授予对资源同意、非国有化矿物和沿海开发的权利,同时允许公众进入和基础设施。 CMT grants rights over resource consents, non-nationalized minerals, and coastal development, while allowing public access and infrastructure. 现在,该法案成为法律。 The bill now becomes law.
