Management practices
Marine Reserves Particular areas of territorial seabed and
foreshore.
Marine Reserves Particular areas of territorial seabed and
foreshore. In these areas there is no fishing, no

Managed by DOC, and they are also responsible for looking after sea mammals.

Managed by DOC, and they are also responsible for looking after sea mammals.
We have 18 marine reserves protecting 7% of territorial waters.
Should include: Large, pristine natural areas
Should include: Large, pristine natural areas Contain breeding stock, and genetic
reserves

reserves Also act as controls for measurement
and management practices.

non-exploitive recreation, eg sailing, swimming etc.

Breeding grounds – allows organisms to reach reproductive size easily, and offspring to survive to reproductive age. Maintains stock of organisms.
Reasons for marine reserves Protection of rare and endangered
species or habitats
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.

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.
