A proposed ra’ui on the Ava’avaroa passage to ban all activity is looming over tour operators.The Aronga Mana of Titikaveka are looking to consult with the Ministry of Marine Resources on a 24/7 ra’ui.They are concerned the passage’s deadly rip poses serious safety concerns, and worried about the harassment of turtles that reside in its waters. Rongo Mate Preston, one of the mataiapos in Titikaveka, said they wanted all activity to stop in the Ava’avaroa passage, so they were pushing for a ra’ui.
