Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve
Gazetted in 1993 Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve (Cathedral Cove) was the first reserve established on the Coromandel Peninsula, and in the Department of Conservation’s Waikato Conservancy.
Covering a total of nine square kilometres, Te Whanganui-A-Hei thus became New Zealand’s sixth official marine reserve and is administered by the Department of Conservation in partnership with the Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve Committee.
