- Summary
- The Aupouri Ecological District consists of the narrow sand tombolo isthmuses of the Aupouri and Karikari Peninsulas and is connected in the north to a wide club-like head of the Te Paki Ecological District and in the south to the Ahipara and Maungataniwha Ecological Districts. The District is characterised by shifting and consolidated dunes interspersed with small lakes, marshy hollows and peat swamps, and three large shallow harbours. Natural areas of ecological significance were identified from a reconnaissance survey undertaken in 1994
