The realisation of the developmental aspirations of Indigenous communities requires a reframing of economy and economic representation. The "diverse economies" framework provides a platform from which to counter the dominant Western narrative surrounding notions of economy, and bring to the fore forms of enterprise and practices all too often "hidden" or viewed as alternative, and therefore deemed inferior. This paper explores the notion of economy and economic activity through the lens of diverse economies to best represent the complex and multidimensional nature of Mäori small and medium-sized enterprises-pakihi Mäori. We propose that the diverse economies framework will enable a deeper understanding of the Mäori economy in its many distinctive forms and more accurately represent the rich diversity of Mäori enterprise that has evolved therein. The current literature provides a platform for case study research currently being undertaken that aims to show the diversity that is missing within current economic representations of the Mäori economy. The literature will form the basis for developing the theory and expand thinking in relation to notions of economy. By reframing the way in which the Mäori economy is considered, our aim is to offer insight into the key drivers, characteristics and values that are foundational to the creation of resilient Mäori organisations, modes of economy and strong communities, today and in the future.

“…So far the Blue Economy idea in New Zealand has surfaced from two knowledge trajectories: Maori development (Bargh, 2014) and economic geography. Bargh (2014: 467) comments that:The Blue Economy comes from a particular cultural genealogy. While there is some reference to Indigenous peoples, it does not consider how to build on practices that have been used traditionally and which may support the Blue Economy ideals….This focus on relationships between people and the land is not something that has been considered by Pauli or factored into considering how and why people and therefore enterprises are motivated to act.That Bargh notes this limitation to Günther Pauli’s alternative economic approach should be read as a sign of Maori claims to rights within the economy and of the sophistication of Maori critiques of regular growth politics in New Zealand: even alternative growth strategies from outside New Zealand are not adequate to the task of accommodating indigenous community aspirations.…”

In the 2010s, the 'Blue Economy' has been widely advocated by a spectrum of interests as a strategy to save the world's oceans and water. This article explores what the Blue Economy moment is and how geographers can engage with it. It acknowledges recent efforts by geographers to understand Blue Economy but goes further by outlining the European Union's Blue Economy programmes and by discussing these in relation to recent agenda setting in marine science. We argue that in spite of apparent convergence on this goal, the Blue Economy imaginary disciplines disparate knowledge for economic projects, when the planetary reality is that every economic project is axiomatically a biological project, with some economic aspects. In this context, the article outlines how assemblage thinking could be relevant to a human geography engagement with Blue Economy and what this could like, and how a relational conception of Blue Economy helps advance understanding. Finally, we discuss the difficulties and potential for human geographers to be genuinely enactive given the disciplinary framings that have already been assumed or imposed through Blue Economy. This last is highlighted by discussing engagement in a particular New Zealand Blue Economy initiative. Rather than either promoting or critiquing Blue Economy, we encourage informed and critical engagement with Blue Economy by geographers.

“…Considers New Zealand’s national-scale blue economy, with a specific reference to the Sustainable Seas and Moana project ( https://www.moanaproject.org/ ) and the coastal spaces encompassed by an Exclusive Economic Zone covering 4,083,744 km 2 (Brown 2008 ). New Zealand has low societal conflict (Besley and Peters 2020 ), high marine biodiversity (Gordon et al 2010 ), good governance and financial resourcing for blue economy implementation (Bargh 2014 ; Winder and Heron 2017 ; Lewis et al 2018).…”

“…New Zealand has taken a planned approach, developing a national blue economy pathway in preparation for 2021 (Sustainable Seas Challenge (2015–2024) (Bargh 2014 ). This approach has provided a foundation upon which to resolve conflict for the common interests of the nation, and Pacific Island neighbours.…”

Humans have relied on coastal resources for centuries. However, current growth in population and increased accessibility of coastal resources through technology have resulted in overcrowded and often conflicted spaces. The recent global move towards development of national blue economy strategies further highlights the increased focus on coastal resources to address a broad range of blue growth industries. The need to manage sustainable development and future exploitation of both over-utilised and emergent coastal resources is both a political and environmental complexity. To address this complexity, we draw on the perspectives of a multi-disciplinary team, utilising two in depth exemplary case studies in New Zealand and within the Myanmar Delta Landscape, to showcase barriers, pathways and actions that facilitate a move from Business as Usual (BAU) to a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030. We provide key recommendations to guide interest groups, and nations globally, towards sustainable utilisation, conservation and preservation of their marine environments in a fair and equitable way, and in collaboration with those who directly rely upon coastal ecosystems. We envision a sustainable future driven by conflict mitigation and resolution, where: Change is motivated and facilitated Coastal ecosystems are co-managed by multiple reliant groups Networks that maintain and enhance biodiversity are implemented Decision-making is equitable and based on ecosystem services Knowledge of the marine realm is strengthened—‘mapping the ocean of life’ The interests of diverse user groups are balanced with a fair distribution of benefits
