This right has not been adequately implemented. There is a commercial fishery that is lucrative and sustainable, but access is limited and precludes Mi'kmaq participation

That being said, it is also owner-operator, so seen as a venue for valuing food providers and putting control locally (albeit, export markets determine prices etc.)]]> 2021-03-29 12:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1363837988 Works with Nature: meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1363981761 Seems to be present here, in the sense that stocks are sustainable, mitigation measures for bycatch, small sizes, berried females, etc; AND all commercial lobster is MSC certified]]> 2021-03-29 13:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1363981761 Background hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364872447 In the 1992 Fisheries' Settlement Māori collectively obtained ownership of 10% of the nation's commercial fishing quota rights for species already in the ITQ system (in the form of ITQs), 20% for all new species to be added, 50% ownership of the nation's largest fishing company, and "customary" - or non-commercial fishing rights. Today, Māori collectively own approximately 30% of the nation's ITQs. However, few Māori are fishing, selling or processing fish caught by Māori-owned quota. ]]> 2021-03-29 16:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364872447 Food for People: (-) hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364890224 Certain (wealthy) people. The ITQ system has increased the cost of fishing - and in turn, the costs consumers pay for fish. Local exchanges off the docks are no longer legal. Export markets (i.e. Japan) often perceived as most lucrative. Māori disproportionately represent adverse health outcomes.]]> 2021-03-29 16:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364890224 Localizes food system (-) hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364900324 Under NZ's ITQ system, sales of fish without quota and without a licensed fish receiver ticket is prohibited (i.e. fishers have to sell to processors). Fishers can gift (if they have a permit) but not sell fish to their neighbors. ]]> 2021-03-29 16:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364900324 Puts control locally: (-) hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364930512 Māori leaders, constrained by the quota system regulations, rather than individual fishers, now determine who has access to commercial fisheries.

Māori who are fishing are developing skills to navigate new market relationships and reporting requirements.

Some of these fisheries are now experiencing declines due to non-fisher-related causes of mortality (i.e. land use change). The ITQ system has also created incentives for fishers not to report catches that they do not have quota to cover, leading to inaccuracies in TACC levels.  ]]> 2021-03-29 16:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364942677 Food is sacred (-) hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364943612 The practice of gifting food is seen as a sign of strength in Māori communities - an exercise of mana. Gifting could be considered a form of investment. As one fisher has explained, "I give, so I can take." Restricted access to the ability to fund a boat, etc to access the fishery for those who do not have quota, has constrained the majority of Māori fishers' abilities to take and gift fish. ]]> 2021-03-29 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364943612 Seafood sovereignty has not (yet) been achieved. hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364952005 Strategies to advance SS:
- Moderate livelihood fishery? (limited, local sales allowed?)
- Direct off the boat sales? 
- Limits on non-fishers owning quota?  
- Limits to quota consolidation? 
- Local control of quota rights in Māori communities? ]]> 2021-03-29 17:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364952005 meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364955380 2021-03-29 17:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364955380 Gilded Trap meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364971627 2021-03-29 17:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1364971627 Values Food Providers meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365063738 Given the points about Rights (of Indigenous Peoples) it seems like this pillar is not bring realized]]> 2021-03-29 17:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365063738 Food for People meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365079115 Shortage of fish/food for Mi'kmaq, highest rates of poverty and food insecurity in Mi'kmaw communities]]> 2021-03-29 17:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365079115 Patchwork meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365138110 2021-03-29 17:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365138110 hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365851442 2021-03-29 21:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365851442 hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365853966 2021-03-29 21:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365853966 hekiabodwitch https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365859672 2021-03-29 21:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365859672 Evaluating: Australian ITQs https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365959625 Building on Quentin's comment that Ian Cartwright might be interested, I also have various bits of case study material we could use in Australian fisheries. Good comparative work for NZ because both countries are so enamoured of ITQs. Also Australian fisheries management is crying out for some interventions to help them think about the intersection between fisheries policy and food policy. And building on Katrina's comment re it being difficult to buy local in many cases. It's really hard to buy local seafood in much of Australia.]]> 2021-03-29 22:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1365959625 Fiji meganbailey7 https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1366013871 Could be a good case study in Fiji if anyone is interested in contacts there. I did some work for FAO and interviewed about 20 people across agencies and the university and representing from climate to travel to fish to socioeconomic interests, and everyone was independently worried about seafood sovereignty much in the way the diagram captures. The worry was that people were fishing less for family or sharing but mainly for cash and fishing pressure was increasing from that and from an increasing commercial presence in nearshore fishers.]]> 2021-03-29 22:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hekiabodwitch/vcc2ajau01ewtbvp/wish/1366013871
