This marine reserve forms an important part of the network of marine reserves around New Zealand which protect a range of special underwater ecosystems.

A review of potential options for more marine protection in the subantarctic area is currently in progress. You are welcome to contribute their thoughts on where this programme should go in the future.

For those fortunate enough to visit the Auckland Islands it is important to follow the rules including no discharge of any waste and no removing of any material, alive or dead, so that the biodiversity in this special area is protected for future generations.
