You are looking at the Marine Reserves schedule. This schedule is part of the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Act 2025. It has information about special areas in the sea that are protected. You will see two marine reserves mentioned: Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Extension Marine Reserve and Te Whanganui-o-Hei / Cathedral Cove Extension Marine Reserve. These reserves have specific areas marked on survey plans. If the map and description do not match, the description is used. The areas of these marine reserves are shown on maps, but the written description is more important if there is a conflict between the two. This information is empowered by s 13 of the Act.
