Summary

This report evaluates a range of boundary options for a marine reserve proposed at Mimiwhangata.

Appended information includes legislative and policy considerations, and consultation undertaken by DOC with regard to the proposal.

DOC received 1109 submissions in response to the "Marine Reserve Proposal. Mimiwhangata: Community Discussion Document". Many of the respondents commented on the size and location of the proposed reserve area(s).

'Alternative boundary' submissions, i.e. different to Options 1 and 2 in the Discussion Document, were sorted into 6 groups to assist in identifying different 'types' and sizes of boundary suggestions.
