  1. Management practices

  2. Marine Reserves • Particular areas of territorial seabed and foreshore.

  3. Marine Reserves • Particular areas of territorial seabed and foreshore. • In these areas there is no fishing, no shellfish or seaweed gathering, no other human exploitation.

  4. Marine Reserves • Particular areas of territorial seabed and foreshore. • In these areas there is no fishing, no shellfish or seaweed gathering, no other human exploitation. • Managed by DOC, and they are also responsible for looking after sea mammals.

  5. Marine Reserves • Particular areas of territorial seabed and foreshore. • In these areas there is no fishing, no shellfish or seaweed gathering, no other human exploitation. • Managed by DOC, and they are also responsible for looking after sea mammals. • We have 18 marine reserves protecting 7% of territorial waters.

  6. Should include: • Large, pristine natural areas

  7. Should include: • Large, pristine natural areas • Contain breeding stock, and genetic reserves

  8. Should include: • Large, pristine natural areas • Contain breeding stock, and genetic reserves • Also act as controls for measurement and management practices.

  9. Should include: • Large, pristine natural areas • Contain breeding stock, and genetic reserves • Also act as controls for measurement and management practices. • Viable examples of every ecosystem and community (like living ‘museums’)

  10. Should include: • Large, pristine natural areas • Contain breeding stock, and genetic reserves • Also act as controls for measurement and management practices. • Viable examples of every ecosystem and community (like living ‘museums’) • Recreational reserves – public access for non-exploitive recreation, eg sailing, swimming etc.

  11. Reasons for marine reserves • Aesthetic and moral – we have a duty to preserve it for our children yaddayadda

  12. Reasons for marine reserves • Aesthetic and moral – we have a duty to preserve it for our children • Recreational – important for people to see animals in a natural environment, and to interact with them in a positive way

  13. Reasons for marine reserves • Aesthetic and moral – we have a duty to preserve it for our children yaddayadda • Recreational – important for people to see animals in a natural environment, and to interact with them in a positive way • Educational – to teach people about the sea and the coast, and for research

  15. Reasons for marine reserves • Aesthetic and moral – we have a duty to preserve it for our children yaddayadda • Recreational – important for people to see animals in a natural environment, and to interact with them in a positive way • Educational – to teach people about the sea and the coast, and for research • Breeding grounds – allows organisms to reach reproductive size easily, and offspring to survive to reproductive age. Maintains stock of organisms.

  16. Reasons for marine reserves • Protection of rare and endangered species or habitats

  17. Reasons for marine reserves • Protection of rare and endangered species or habitats • Habitat conservation – preserve area that is natural and contains rare and unusual species.

  18. Reasons for marine reserves • Protection of rare and endangered species or habitats • Habitat conservation – preserve area that is natural and contains rare and unusual species. • Genetic conservation – retain genetic diversity among a species, to keep breeding groups healthy. Preserves organisms that have a future role in pharmaceuticals or bioengineering.
