The iwi of Hauraki have always been a seafaring and fishing people. We live on the shores of one of the richest and most abundant marine areas in New Zealand .

We are involved in protection, management and enhancement of our fisheries and are currently reviewing ways in which the Board can better contribute to the sustainability of the customary fisheries of Hauraki.

We have made significant investment in the commercial fisheries and aquaculture industries through the Fishing Group. The net assets of the Group are about $21 million. We are still developing our mussel farms at Wilson 's Bay and as members of a commercial consortium we are pursuing the establishment of an aquaculture management area in the Firth of Thames. The Group makes provision for commercial fishing scholarships to our people and remains committed to returning revenue back to the shareholder board.
