Located in the Auckland Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1975. An initial baseline habitat survey was completed. Monitoring at this reserve targets subtidal reef benthic communities and key species (abundance and population size structure of mobile invertebrates, sessile invertebrates, algal communities and other selected key species (e.g. paua, kina) occurring on rocky reefs, boulder reefs, biogenic reefs); monitoring of subtidal fish species associated with rocky reefs, boulder reefs, biogenic reefs; and targeted subtital rock lobster monitoring surveys. Sampling frequency = irregular Depths sampled: 0-30 m (based on coastal bathymetry shape file (NZTM)). Methods used to collect data: UVC, BUV, photograph, pot
