- Summary
- Kapiti Marine Reserve was established in 1992 in response to growing public concern about the depletion of the unique marine environment around Kapiti Island. The reserve addresses this concern by restricting activities which could adversely affect the marine habitat. The reserve is part of a growing network of marine reserves throughout New Zealand which should eventually protect examples of the full range of our marine habitats.
