Located in the Auckland Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 1995. An initial baseline habitat survey was not completed for this reserve. Monitoring at this reserve targets intertidal soft sediment benthic communities (monitoring intertidal communities occurring on soft substrates (unconsolidated) – mud, sand, gravels, cobbles in coastal or estuarine environments). Sampling frequency = irregular. Depths sampled: 0-10 m. Methods used to collect data:transect, photograph

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.

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: 0-100 m. Methods used to collect data:UVC, BUV, photograph, pot

Located in the Nelson-Marlborough Conservancy, this marine reserve was established in 2006. 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. Depths sampled: 0-20 m. Methods used to collect data:UVC, BUV, pot, photograph.

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
