KohiKAI App
New Zealand’s Premier Customary Māori Fishing App
KohiKAI is an online Māori fishing application created specifically for iwi, hapu, whānau and kaitiaki.
It enables and assists users to manage both their rohe moana and customary fishing data in a more convenient, efficient and sustainable way.
Once they have completed their harvest their catch data details (or harvest report) can be returned to the kaitiaki using KohiKAI’s simple online form. On average, This whole process is usually completed in less than 60 seconds.
This information is then securely stored and used by KohiKAI to provide our Kaitiaki with live real-time data. Ultimately, KohiKAi technology will assist Kaitiaki to make informed and responsible decisions when it comes to managing rohe moana, by providing them with an accurate visual reflection on how their fisheries are performing.

Customary Māori Fishing
What is it?
CUSTOMARY FISHING
The Kaimoana Customary Fishing Regulations 1998 and the Fisheries (South Island Customary Fishing) Regulations 1998 strengthen our rights as tangata whenua to manage our fisheries.
Regulations allow iwi and hapu to manage their non-commercial fishing in a way that best fits their local practices, without having a major effect on the fishing rights of others. When the government sets the total catch limits for fisheries each year, it allows for this customary use of fisheries.
More information about customary fishing can be found on the Fisheries New Zealand Website.
