The symbol is a Maori (Polynesian, New Zealand) Hei Matau, or Fishing Hook design. It symbolizes prosperity. Much of Maori traditional food is fish. The fish were so plentiful to the Maori that the simple ownership of a fish hook meant prosperity. Today it also represents strength, determination and good health. It also provides safe journey over water.

There is also a Whales Tail, which is another symbol of protection for the Maori. Many whales in an area often meant an absence of sharks. Shows empathy for conservational issues. Strength but sensitivity. Today the Whale represents protection on all forms of transport.
