TE MAFAI 'O E TOFUA'A BILL
PUBLIC CONSULTATION UNDERWAY
TE MAFAI O 'E TOFUA'A CLIMATE BILL 2026, represents a groundbreaking legal framework that officially recognises whales as legal persons with their own inherent rights to life, safe migration, and healthy oceans. Designed to shift our relationship with the ocean from exploitation to deep respect, this bill creates a dedicated indigenous-led Guardianship Council to speak for the whales, introduces strict rules for commercial shipping, and establishes a dedicated fund to directly finance marine restoration. We invite you to explore the pillars of this historic framework, share your voice, and join us in legally protecting our ancestral ocean navigators for generations to come.
