Info

We marine scientists of various specialisation, recognise New Zealand’s oceanic environment and ecosystems as unique and highly regionalised, with a level of biodiversity of global significance. A great deal remains unknown about New Zealand’s marine environment; vast regions are unexplored, interactions between species and their environments are not understood, and we lack the expertise to recognise and document many of the components of the biota. Consequently, the capacity to use and manage marine resources, or even identify possible human impacts is limited. If we New Zealanders are to live in a sustainable relationship with our oceanic environment and benefit from the use of the marine resources of our EEZ, we need more information. Our current lack of knowledge is alarming and does not represent a sound basis for reliable policy and management decisions. We urge immediate action by the Government and other stakeholders to ensure the capacity of relevant institutions to address this situation. BIODIVERSITY – NEW ZEALAND’S MARINE ECOREGION ■ 75
