The Hākaimangō-Matiatia marine reserve would cover a 2350ha area northwest of Waiheke Island, but it's been stalled after opposition from the Ngāti Pāoa Iwi Trust. However, the Ngāti Pāoa Trust Board supports the reserve. This is the fourth marine reserve to be delayed or cancelled recently after opposition from iwi groups.

Meanwhile you've got this story from yesterday about local Māori proposing a mātaitai reserve around Ruapuke Island in Foveaux Strait. That might well be the difference between iwi groups and local Māori.
