Care and beware!
- Fishing of any kind is an offence.
- The taking or disturbing of any marine life, including shellfish and seaweeds, is also an offence.
- It is an offence to take any part of the sea floor, including rocks and shells, from the reserve, or to erect any structure.
- Do not feed the fish. This disturbs their natural behaviour and is an offence.
- It is an offence for boats or jet skis to exceed five knots within 200m of the mainland or a dive flag, or within 30m of a boat or person in the water.
- Please take your rubbish away with you - observe the Department's 'Pack in-pack out' policy. Rubbish disposal at the reserve is very difficult.
- If you come across any field or research equipment within the reserve, please do not disturb it.
Non-compliance with these conditions may result in prosecution.
Help the Department of Conservation stop offenders!
The reserve is managed by the Department's Auckland Conservancy. Surveillance and enforcement of the reserve is carried out by the Department of Conservation, honorary rangers (community volunteers appointed under the Marine Reserves Act), and Long Bay Regional Parks staff.
Most important, the success of the reserve depends on caring and vigilant visitors. If you see people taking fish or other marine life within the marine reserve, please report this to the Department of Conservation as soon as possible.
