Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004

The Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 was an Act of Parliament in New Zealand which overruled the 2003 decision of the Court of Appeal in Ngati Apa v Attorney-General. Its passage arose out of, and further fueled, the New Zealand foreshore and seabed controversy. The act was repealed and replaced by the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act in 2011.^[1]
