Thank you for supporting the petition to restore Crown ownership of New Zealand’s foreshore and seabed.
The threat to our freedom to use the coast – from hundreds of tribal claims – is very real. Most claimants indicate they want to impose wahi tapu to prohibit public access.
You can read our NZCPR article outlining what’s going on HERE and Dr Hugh Barr’s article HERE.
The NZCPR website contains dozens of background articles on this issues – they can be located via the “Archive” link on the main navigation bar, or by entering foreshore into the search engine.
If you would like to contact MPs – their email addresses are HERE.

We hope the petition will be widely supported by New Zealanders who want to demonstrate their opposition to these claims – strong support for the petition would help to strengthen the case against tribal claims.
