Located in the Southland Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1995. 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); subtidal fish species associated with rocky reefs, boulder reefs, biogenic reefs; and targeted subtidal rock lobster monitoring surveys. Sampling frequency = irregular. Depths sampled:0-50 m. Methods used to collect data:UVC, BUV, photograph, pot.

Located in the East Coast/Hawke's Bay Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1997. An initial baseline habitat survey was completed for this reserve. Monitoring at this reserve targets intertidal reef communities (monitoring rocky intertidal communities occurring on rocky reefs, boulder reefs); subtidal reef fish (monitoring fish species associated with rocky reefs, boulder reefs, biogenic reefs) and monitoring surveys specifically targeting rock lobster. Sampling frequency = irregular. Depths sampled: 0-36 m. Methods used to collect data:transect, photograph, UVC, BUV, pot.

Located in the Southland Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1993. An initial baseline habitat survey was completed. Monitoring at this reserve targets subtidal reef fish associated with rocky reefs, boulder reefs, biogenic reefs, subtital monitoring surveys specifically targeting reef rock lobster and monitoring the effect of human activity on the marine reserve e.g. species, assemblage/community changes and habitats. Sampling frequency = irregular. Depths sampled:0-200 m Methods used to collect data:transect , UVC, BUV, pot, photograph, drop camera, other.
