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

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.
