Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve
The Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve is a protected area off the coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The reserve, established in 1981 and covering an area of 2400 ha, is administered by the Department of Conservation. It surrounds the Poor Knights Islands and adjacent rock stacks. It is one of the worlds ten most popular sites for scuba diving.〔(Forest and Bird ) - The Benefits of Marine Reserves〕 with dive trips regularly leaving from the town of Tutukaka.
The reserve has also been one of the primary areas studied and documented by Wade Doak, one of New Zealand's most prominent marine experts and advocates for marine reserves.
== History of fishing in the reserve ==
When the reserve was originally founded in 1981, commercial fishing was banned, but recreational fishing was still allowed. A full ban on fishing was finally implemented seventeen years later in 1998.〔Warne, Kennedy. "Blue Haven: New Zealand marine reserves are a model for the world." ''National Geographic Magazine'': April 2007. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/04/new-zealand-coast/warne-text〕 Currently, it is prohibited to disturb marine life or remove rocks or shells in the marine reserve. No commercial fishing is permitted within one nautical mile (1,852 m) and long lining is the only commercial fishing permitted between one and three nautical miles. The islands are a popular diving location due to the variety of marine fauna found there, and are popular also for their intriguing landforms, which include natural arches and caves.
