3. Advocate for sensitive development and appropriate controls on activities in the adjacent privately-owned lands and coastal marine area to protect the coastal landscape of the reserve. 3.5 Ecosystem services Ecosystem services cover a wide range of conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems, and the species that are part of them, help sustain and fulfil life. On many public conservation lands, such as the adjacent Abel Tasman National Park, ecosystem services can include water and soil conservation, maintenance and provision of genetic resources, and maintenance and regeneration of habitat. In the case of the reserve, the key ecosystem services relate to: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) The preservation and protection of the natural coastal environment The filtering of discharges from the adjacent lands before they enter the coastal waters The protection of adjacent private land from erosion The buffering of the ecosystem services within the national park Providing potential sources of medicines and other useful substances. Information is to be provided to the public and adjoining landowners about the benefits that these ecosystem services provide. 3.5 Policy 1. To recognise and protect the ecosystem services of the reserve. 3.5 Methods 1. Recognise the value of ecosystem services when making decisions about the management of the reserve. 2. Ensure that the natural functioning of coastal processes is maintained. 3. Provide information about the benefits of ecosystem services. 3. Conservation of natural resources 31
4. Historical and cultural heritage 4.1 History 4.1.1 Māori history For over 700 years people have been visiting the Abel Tasman coast, with Māori occupation and traditions extending back to the early iwi Rapuai, Waitaha, Ngāti Wairangi and Ngai Tara, who occupied the coast before 1600. They were displaced by Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri until they were in turn defeated by Ngāti Apa and Ngāti Kuia in the late 1790’s. The earliest recorded contact between Māori and European in New Zealand occurred on 18 December 1642, when the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman anchored his two ships near Wainui in Golden Bay/Mohua. He subsequently lost four crew members in a skirmish with the local Māori at that time, Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri. When Dumont D'Urville visited in 1827, Māori habitations were observed and visited in several bays along the Abel Tasman coastline and inland, but only a few people appeared to be in residence. However, at that time the local tribes (Ngāti Apa and Ngāti Kuia) had recently been involved in a disastrous attack on Kapiti Island (1825-26) where many had been killed or captured. The survivors who had managed to escape back to Tasman Bay were living under serious threat of retributive raids from the north. These came two years later (about 1828-29) with the raupatu/conquest by Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Tama and Te Ātiawa, who then settled the area along and adjacent to the Abel Tasman coast. Records and sketches from Tasman's and D’Urville’s visits, later journeys by other explorers, particularly Heaphy and Barnicoat (1842), and the first settlers, provide many details of the daily life of Māori in the area. The foreshore and adjacent land contain over 120 known sites of Māori occupation, including coastal villages, seasonal camps, garden areas and food storage pits. Natural and human disturbances occasionally reveal new sites. The coast has extensive wāhi tapu and urupā areas, most of which are recorded in the New Zealand Archaeological Association files, but none are registered by the Historic Places Trust. There are six, relatively small, formerly fortified pa sites known on the Abel Tasman coast, and several historically recorded, defined villages at Taupo Point and on the southern coast. Areas of general occupation, associated with shell middens, cooking areas and house floors, are present on soft-shore areas around estuaries, stream mouths and behind beaches. The most substantial of the sites and the largest concentrations of recorded sites are in and around the major bays of Torrent Bay/Rakauroa, Bark Bay/Wairinga, Awaroa and Totaranaui. Archaeological excavations at some sites show a dependence on estuarine shellfish species with surprisingly little evidence of fish remains, even though the coastal waters were rich in seafood. Certainly, in early colonial times, traditional Māori practices of drying fish were taking place at Marahau, Riwaka and near Motueka. On the northern coastline, on the stony beach to the west of Taupo Point, there are intertidal areas that have been cleared of rocks. It is likely that this was done by the local Maori to provide for easier landing of waka. 4. Historical and cultural heritage 32
