The primary focus is management and enforcement of customary legislative provisions, together with compliance support for tangata kaitiaki. In the North Island, 217 Regulation 27 authorisations were checked, 7 indicating 95% compliance. 11 Kaimoana Regulation authorisations were checked, indicating a compliance rate of 82%.

In the South Island, 136 customary inspections were carried out, indicating a compliance rate of 87%.

There is currently only a limited role for Compliance in customary fishing, as the customary fishing regulations have not yet been widely implemented. In an effort to protect the resources valued by customary fishers, some of the compliance resources identified for customary enforcement were deployed in recreational fishing rules enforcement, and in deterring poaching and black market activity.
