Ocean Roadmap for New Zealand [Download]

This Ocean Roadmap discussion document was a collective effort, guided by diverse contributors. To help distil a pathway forward in what is undeniably a complex landscape, we’ve sought to understand a broad range of perspectives. It is our hope that this Roadmap will support and catalyse further cross-sector conversations.  

The Roadmap was developed to:
1. Listen to the stories of the past while embracing new ideas for the future.
2. Provide insight into the building blocks and enabling conditions required to secure ocean health and wealth for generations to come.
3. Identify a set of opportunities and actions that if advanced could help New Zealand shift towards a future of sustainable protection and production that addresses the urgent risks of climate change and loss of biodiversity. 

It is our intention that the Roadmap will catalyse a new conversation and begin to identify targeted actions, providing a platform and an invitation for others to join efforts to secure ocean health and wealth for generations to come. We invite you to join the call to action. 

We as New Zealanders share a collective opportunity and responsibility to protect and restore the ecological health of our ocean, acknowledging its intrinsic value while building an ocean economy that can provide nutritious food, empower whānau and communities, and provide innovative solutions to our most urgent challenges. By taking up this opportunity we are building resilience to support us and our marine environment both now and over the long term.
