Sharing our Sea
How much people should pay
to occupy parts of the sea,
including the estuary, is an issue
being canvassed by ECan, the
regional council. Its Sharing our
Sea consultation also seeks to
identify how different sea areas
in Canterbury might be used by
operations like marine farms. ECan’s councillors voted last year to start charging for
structures that take up space in the sea – things like
wharves and jetties, seawalls and marine farms.
Christchurch’s estuary is part of the area ECan is looking at. |
