	Barrett Reef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cluster of rocks that is Barrett Reef (often known as Barrett's Reef) is one of the most treacherous reefs in New Zealand.
		The reef, much of which is exposed even at high tide, is located to the west of the two-kilometre-wide channel that links the Cook Strait with Port Nicholson, close to the shore of the Miramar Peninsula.
		Due to the channelling effect of the Cook Strait, which lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea, the currents are strong and fickle and gales are common.

	Overview of the Conservation of Australian Marine Invertebrates
		Edgar and Barrett (2000) found that physical abrasion from the ship’s hull during grounding caused the complete destruction of the subtidal reef community over an area of about 3400 m2, whereas other areas affected only by the oil showed no significant changes.
		The impact of the collision caused the reef matrix to shatter and large amounts of coral rubble were generated.
		These results indicate that the contamination of sediments by anti-fouling paint at Sudbury Reef has the potential to significantly reduce coral recruitment in the immediate vicinity of the site and that this contamination may threaten the recovery of the resident coral community unless the paint is removed (Negri and Heyward 2000).

	Wellington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the east of the city is the Miramar Peninsula, connected to the rest of the city by a low-lying isthmus at Rongotai, which is the site of Wellington International Airport.
		The narrow entrance to Wellington is directly to the east of the Miramar Peninsula, and contains the dangerous shallows of Barrett Reef, where many ships have been wrecked (most famously the inter-island ferry Wahine in 1968).
		On the hill west of the city centre, near Victoria University, is a botanic garden, and both can be reached on a funicular railway (the "cable car").

		One of the most remarkable groundings on this reef was that of the Wanganella in February 1947.
		For the unusual period of a fortnight the weather remained fine and the seas calm, thus permitting the successful salvage of the vessel.
		The reef was named after Richard (Dicky) Barrett, sealer, whaler, trader, interpreter, agent of the New Zealand Company, publican, and notable early citizen of Wellington.

		Most of this fieldwork was done at the Lac Court Oreilles Reservation in Sawyer County, Wisconsin [Barrett, 1910; Ritzenthaler, 1940s] and the Lac du Flambeau Reservation in Vilas County, Wisconsin [Smith, 1920s and Ritzenthaler, 1951].

		Next you would roller reef the headsail to bring the head of the reefed jib even with the reefed mainsail.
		The second reef might go in at about 20-22 knots and then the headsail will be rolled all the way to the front of the track.
		This is especially true when reefed because the Marathon sails have fiber structure orienting from the reefed corners and extending all the way across the surface of the sail.

		Coral reefs only survive in warmer waters and are usually found in tropical areas such as Queensland.
		The senior biologist who discovered the reef, Neville Barrett, believes it is evidence that rising water temperatures are having an impact on the marine environment.

		The TEV Wahine is a New Zealand inter-island ferry that founded on Barrett's Reef at the entrance to Wellington Harbour in a storm on April 10, 1968.
		Twenty minutes later the winds had increased to 160 kilometres per hour, and the ship lost its radar.
		For 30 minutes the Wahine battled into the waves and wind, but by 6.40 am had been driven back onto the rocks of Barrett's Reef.

		As coral reef experts gathered in Okinawa, Japan, for a weeklong summit which started Monday, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) called for urgent action to stop the disintegration of the globe’s fragile and often overlooked cold-water coral reefs.
		A report from UNEP due to be formally released this weekend warns that some of the world’s cold-water reefs — which exist in almost all the planet’s oceans but are much lesser known than tropical reefs — have already been destroyed or badly damaged by the effects of trawling.
		The International Society for Reef Studies has launched an ambitious program to communicate the results of scientific research in order to improve policies and practices impacting on coral reef conservation around the world.
