This includes things like Sealord which is one of the biggest quota owners, but is only half owned by iwi, so a genuine number would be quite a lot lower than that 30%. That’s not to say that there aren’t problems with the management, we agree about that.

“Altogether, Māori enterprises account for 40 percent of New Zealand’s forestry, 50 percent of the country’s fishing quota,”

They are also allowed to fish in ways white people aren’t and in place they aren’t.
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.
