 Tiritiri Marine Reserve - Press Release
With current reserve applications covering Tiritiri Island, the end of Whangaparaoa, The Noises, parts of Waiheke Island and a large section of Great Barrier Island out to the 12-mile limit, Hauraki Gulf users are concerned their access rights will be compromised by a disproportion number of marine reserves and no take zones.
Tiritiri Matangi island and the outer Whangaparaoa Peninsula are amongst the best protected small boat fishing grounds in the Hauraki Gulf and rescue organisations such as Auckland Volunteer Coast Guard are concerned that lives will be put at risk if small boats are forced to fish in more exposed waters.
Les Sharman, spokesperson for the Hibiscus Coast Rescue Trust, says Tiritiri Matangi island and Whangaparaoa Peninsula are traditional small boat fishing grounds and it is unthinkable they will be placed off limits to satisfy a few scenic divers swimming in poor visibility and even fewer academics studying a marine environment already hugely modified by man.
