Coastal policies and plans

The RCP contains policy and methods to manage the allocation and use of resources across the coastal marine area (CMA) of the Waikato region.

The bylaw covers all navigable waterways in the Waikato region (with the exception of Lake Taupo) and is aimed at ensuring the safety of users on these waterways.

The RPS provides an overview of resource management issues in the Waikato region. It provides policies and a range of methods to achieve integrated management of the region's natural and physical resources.

'Revitalising the Gulf' is the Government’s strategy in response to the call for action made by the Sea Change – Tai Timu Tai Pari Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan (the Sea Change Plan). It sets out a package of marine conservation and fisheries management actions to restore a healthy Hauraki Gulf.
