Our underwater world
New Zealanders love the ocean. It is beautiful and diverse, teeming with a fantastic array of sea life. Our team at MarineNZ are all actively involved in marine conservation and education. We believe NZ needs a website that can bring the NZ marine environment to your computer. We also believe that we can all do more to restore and protect marine life and being amongst it even virtually on your computer is a starting point. It will be an adventure in discovery for all us. In time we hope to involve many of you in building and using this site. We have many ideas on the drawing board.
MarineNZ.org will become a virtual marine online world, full of stunning underwater photography, videography and leading marine biology reports and presentations. There are tools for students, teachers and all those interested in our marine environment. There’s also information on our streams and rivers, and how they interact with our beaches and oceans. Tour our site to find out more. You can also register, which will allow you to make comments and receive our newsletters.
MarineNZ gives all New Zealanders access to the beauty beneath the Sea. Dive in and enjoy.

Reserve fishers in court
By DEANNA HARRIS - Whangarei Leader | Tuesday, 08 July 2008
Recreational fishermen are ending up in front of a judge after being caught fishing in marine reserves in Whangarei Harbour.
Alan Fleming, a marine protection ranger with the Department of Conservation in Whangarei, says staff members have had enough of people breaking the law by fishing in the reserves.
In the past six months 38 anglers have been caught fishing in the harbour and Poor Knights Islands marine reserves.
