"this evenings hui is a public engagement session to share the general S186a application, history behind it and gather public input.

Its for anyone who goes down to the coast and takes kaimoana to understand the request that is coming from Ngā hapū o Ngāruahine.

Through the formal process, the hapū apply for the S186a temporary fisheries closure, then MPI go out for public consultation (where people can submit on the application) but this evenings hui is about connecting prior to that process.

It is an informal discussion, where hapū can talk to their application, and attendees can ask questions. "

For context, last week in Normanby, everyone came together and people took turns sharing kōrerō and asking questions.
