About the event
The Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Marine Reserve, commonly known as Goat Island, was the first marine reserve to be established in New Zealand and the world. The reserve was established in 1975 and covers five kilometres of coastline and an area extending 800 metres offshore.
A rich diversity of near-shore and reef-dwelling organisms flourish in this largely silt-free environment.
The benefits of a no-take marine reserve are pretty obvious on entry to the water. The crayfish are big here! Fish life thrives and it is likely a flotilla of snapper will follow you as you dive.
You can turn up and leave whenever you want. There will be people at Goat Island from Friday morning until Sunday. We will be camping at Goat Island Camping.
Currently this is an expression of interest, and more details and tickets will come near the date!
