I ngā wā ō mua, kei tēnā whānau kei tēnā hapū ōna ake wāhi i kohia ai te kaimoana. Mēnā ka hiahia te manuhiri nō waho te kohi i ngā kaimoana o tētahi, kua īnoi atu tērā ki te kaitiaki o taua wāhi. He nui te mahi o ngā āpiha ika, pērā i a Maadi Te Kahu (taha mauī) rāua ko Renee Randall hei kaitiaki. E mahi ngātahi ana rātou mō te Manatū Ika me ngā iwi ā-rohe hei whakatau i ngā ture ārahi mō te kohi mātaitai.
