Hauraki Gulf Marine Park
_ N 1967, the protected land areas of _ the Gulf were gathered together to make the Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park. It was New Zealand's first maritime park and a completely new concept in reserves. The park provided integrated management for more than 50 islands. Today the park is administered by the Department of Conservation and the Hauraki Conservation Board. Unfortunately, the waters of the Hauraki Gulf have always been outside the jurisdiction of the Park. But last year, the Minister of Conservation, Denis Marshall, proposed addressing this omission by creating a new Hauraki Gulf Marine Park that would give widespread protection to marine communities within the Gulf. At this stage, the area, the controlling authority, permitted uses and guiding principles for the park are undetermined. The Department of Conservation hope to publish a draft discussion document on the proposal shortly. For further information refer to Forest and Bird’s Conservation News.
