| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The nation's maritime estate claimed, and ratified, under the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is more than fifteen times the area of its landmass. There are vital foreign policy, economic, environmental and security considerations associated with this priceless asset. Oceans policy is a difficult and challenging issue that previous administrations have tried to instigate but without success. This does not mean it cannot be successfully developed and articulated. A specific policy and a government agency for maritime affairs are necessary to face strategic challenges and optimise opportunities for New Zealand's future. |
