Birds such as the godwit benefit from
Westhaven-Te Tai Tapu marine reserve

The marine reserve totally protects all plant and animal life within its boundaries, benefiting not only fish and shellfish, but birdlife as well. Fishing and shooting is not permitted.

The wildlife management reserve allows for fishing and gamebird hunting.

Trail bikes or vehicles are not allowed in either reserves, except at boat launching areas.

Vehicle launching of boats is permitted 200 metres past the Kaihoka Road turnoff on Dry Road, and at Mangarakau Wharf.
