MILFORD SOUND — New Zealand fiords could provide safe haven for penguins in a warming world, new research suggests. After watching the effects of El Nino devastate the breeding season of Fiordland crested penguins (tawaki) on the open coast, Tawaki Project scientists have focused their tracking of the enigmatic birds in one of the South Island’s best-loved visitor destinations. But New Zealand Penguin Initiative senior scientist Thomas Mattern said the tracking he and others did with the Tawaki Project in Milford Sound served another purpose as well.
