NZ Marine Geospatial Information working group

The New Zealand Marine Geospatial Information (NZMGI) working group facilitates national collaboration and leverage opportunities to grow the value of MGI investments and benefits for all New Zealand.

The NZMGI working group was established in February 2019. It is made up of over 180 members from across government, Māori / iwi groups, Crown Research Institutes, universities, charity and community groups, and private sector companies. The steering group coordinates the activities of the NZMGI working group and oversees the development and implementation of a national marine geospatial work programme. Decisions made by the steering group consider the needs of the wider marine geospatial community. The steering group consists of representatives from the NZMGI working group with a key national role in the generation and/or use of marine geospatial data:
