Proposed amendments to Te Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands) Marine Mammal Sanctuary
We are currently seeking public feedback on the proposal to remove the safe zones from the Bay of Islands Marine Mammal Sanctuary.
The proposal would retain the remaining high-value, dolphin-centric management measures by enhancing and strengthening associated monitoring and compliance.
The consultation period is now open. For more information, and to make a submission go to: Te Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands) Marine Mammal Sanctuary management measures.
