In addition, the Ministry has received Cabinet approval to transfer the unspent balance from 2007/08 into 2008/09 in order to undertake preliminary work on initiatives that are important to achieving the fisheries strategic direction relating to amateur representation, or meet the Crown obligations relating to the implementation of foreshore agreements and Treaty Settlements. The amount to be transferred into 2008/09 is $1.046 million.
