A marine reserve for Whangarei?
FOREST AND BIRD members at Kamo High School have been busy over the last three years with a proposal they have developed for a marine reserve in the waters around Motukaroro Island in Whangarei Harbour. The area proposed for the reserve is a fine diving area with abundant marine wildlife and is very accessible. The students, with the assistance of their geography teacher Warren Farrelly, have put together a pamphlet outlining the proposal and circulated a questionnaire to assess attitudes to the idea within the Whangarei community. They have consulted with a number of local organisations including
the port company, diving club and Maori groups. The students hope that the reserve proposal can be formally distributed early this year.
