Located in the Nelson-Marlborough Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1994. An initial baseline habitat survey was completed at this reserve. Monitoring at this reserve targets intertidal reef communities (monitoring rocky intertidal communities occurring on rocky reefs, boulder reefs); subtidal soft sediment benthic communities (monitoring the abundance and population size structure of invertebrates, algal communities and other selected key species occurring on soft substrate (unconsolidated) - mud, sand, gravels, cobbles in coastal or estuarine environments); subtidal reef benthic communities and key species (monitoring the 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) and subtidal reef fish species associated with rocky reefs, boulders and biogenic reefs. In addition, monitoring surveys are conducted specifically targeting rock lobster and blue cod. Habitat surveys were conducted after the initial baseline survey. Sampling frequency = irregular.
