The New Zealand Supreme Court on Monday unanimously upheld an appeal by the Attorney-General, revising the legal test under the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 (MACA). The decision effectively lowers the barriers for Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, to establish customary rights over the use of the foreshore and seabed.
