Developed over 3 years, the Sea Change – Tai Timu Tai Pari Plan (hereafter referred to as the Sea Change Plan), New Zealand’s first marine spatial plan, was launched at the end of 2016. The Sea Change Plan provides an aspirational blueprint to inform and guide statutory agencies with a role in the management of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. The Sea Change Plan’s proposals sought to integrate and improve management across a variety of domains, including fisheries management, and seeks to integrate management measures to holistically improve the environmental health outcomes of the Hauraki Gulf. To this end, the Sea Change Plan proposes a range of marine protected areas (MPAs) to protect and restore habitats and ecosystems. In 2019 the Ministers of Conservation and Fisheries announced the development of a Government Response Strategy to the Sea Change Plan’s proposals falling under their respective remits. This report brings together the technical and scientific assessments of the Sea Change MPA proposals, giving regard to best-practice guidance on MPA planning. Preferred options for MPAs are identified, which are expected to be further discussed and refined with input of Treaty partners and stakeholders. The preferred options include extending two existing marine reserves, 11 high protection areas and five seafloor protection areas. Gaps in establishing a network of MPAs are discussed, but recommendations of additional sites to complete the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park network is outside the scope of the assessment. The proposals aim to lay a foundation for an MPA network that progresses the protection and restoration of ecological and societal/spiritual values as envisioned in the Sea Change Plan. 5 Purpose of this report The purpose of this document is to assess the Sea Change Plan’s proposals for marine protection in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park and to summarise the advice developed by the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Fisheries New Zealand (FNZ) as part of the development of the Government Response Strategy to the Sea Change Plan. The report is structured to: • Provide a brief overview of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park and the existing MPAs it contains. • Provide an overview of the process, outcomes, objectives and proposals made through the Sea Change Plan for MPAs. • Describe how agencies carried out the assessment of the Sea Change Plan proposals. • Provide a detailed assessment of each site proposed within the Sea Change Plan, and how proposals align with the Sea Change Plan’s objectives for marine protection and with national best-practice MPA design principles. • Provide agencies’ response on which proposals to progress, including where any modifications could improve overarching biodiversity protection and restoration outcomes. • Provide an indicative assessment of affected users and potential associated costs.

    Gimenez et al. Helgol Mar Res (2020) 74:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s10152-020-0534-x Helgoland Marine Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Age and growth of Glycymeris longior (Sowerby, 1832) clam at the southern edge of its distribution (Argentine Sea) Lucas H. Gimenez1,2†, María del Socorro Doldan1,3,4*† , Paula C. Zaidman1,3,4 and Enrique M. Morsan1,3 Abstract Even though Glycymeris longior is a clam widely distributed in the SW Atlantic Ocean, little is known about its biology and life history. The present study assessed the periodicity of the internal growth increments of G. longior using thin shell sections. Each internal growth increment was composed of two alternating bands: a translucent band (light- coloured when viewed with transmitted light) and an opaque band (dark-coloured). Annual formation for each pair of bands was demonstrated. The formation of the annual growth increments was synchronous among individuals. Growth was determined from live clams collected at El Sótano, Argentine Sea (age range 29 to 69 years). Accord- ing to the growth model, G. longior grows fast during the frst 5 years of life and then growth= becomes slower in later years; individuals reached 50% and 90% of maximum size at 5 and 13 years of age, respectively. High variability was found in shell height for the frst 10 years: diferences up to 5–7 mm among individuals were registered for the frst 2 years of age, and up to 11 mm between the ages of 3 and 9 years. The growth performance index phi-prime (φ′) and the index of growth performance (P) of G.

  • Geology of Fanal Island (Motukino), Outer Hauraki Gulf, North Auckland
    TANE 26,1980 GEOLOGY OF FANAL ISLAND (MOTUKINO), OUTER HAURAKI GULF, NORTH AUCKLAND by G.H. Browne and DA. Greig Department of Geology, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland SUMMARY Fanal Island (Motukino) consists of thin flow banded rhyolite of presumed Pliocene age. The island represents the southern and western remnant of a cumulo-dome, whose northern portion has been eroded by the sea. The rocks of the island (Fanal Formation) are subdivided into a basal Flow Banded Member (new) and an upper Agglomerate Member (new). The distinction between the rhyolitic lithologies of Burgess and Fanal Islands is not considered as significant as previous authors. Two phases of concentric folding are recognised and their relationships described. Joint orientations are probably of igneous origin. INTRODUCTION AND GEOLOGICAL SETTING Fanal Island is the eastern-most and largest island of the Mokohinau group of islands, lying northwest of Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf, some 105 kilometres from Auckland City. The May 1979 A.U.F.C. scientific camp provided an opportunity to examine the geology of the island. The Mokohinaus form part of a long discontinuous chain of rhyolitic volcanics that outcrop within the Coromandel Volcanic Zone (Fig. 1). This northerly trending belt, extends from the Poor Knights Group in the north to the Aldermen Islands in the south, a distance of some 210 kilometres, and is equivalent to the Whitianga Arc of Ballance (1976) which was active some 6 to 3 m.y. ago. Kear (1964) had previously included Mayor Island within this rhyolitic chain, but Cole (1978) has argued that Mayor Island was part of a separate north-east trending tensional graben structure known as the Ngatoro Basin.

  • The Floristic Status of the Aldermen Islands Compared with Other Offshore Islands of the Auckland Province
    61 THE FLORISTIC STATUS OF THE ALDERMEN ISLANDS COMPARED WITH OTHER OFFSHORE ISLANDS OF THE AUCKLAND PROVINCE by D.J. Court* SUMMARY Data shows that the Aldermen Islands possess a reduced indigenous flora compared to that of other offshore islands. The Aldermen have few weeds, but these are more significant because of the reduced flora. A list of adventive weed species is given showing those most frequently found on offshore islands of the Auckland Province. DISCUSSION To obtain any valid comparison of island floras it is necessary to take into account the following influencing factors: (a) Distance from the mainland. (b) Direction of prevailing winds. (c) History of any modification of the vegetation. (d) Area suitable and available for development of "coastal forest". Data for 10 islands or small groups of islands (including the Aldermen Islands) has been collated. Only those islands of the Auckland Province between 70 and 200 hectares in area have been included (Table 1). Large islands such as Mayor, Little Barrier and Hen Island have therefore been excluded from this study. Small rock stacks, such as Old Man Rock and Sail Rock (Atkinson, 1962, 1972) are also excluded. The apparently low proportion of adventive weed species on the Aldermen Islands prompted a comparison based on numbers of weed species in relation to distance offshore (Figs 1 and 2), i.e. were there fewer weed species on islands a greater distance offshore? This was found to be so to a slight extent only, as Cuvier and Burgess Islands have been thoroughly disturbed by grazing stock. All the islands considered have been burned over to a greater or lesser extent by the Maori, except West Island of the Three Kings Group.

  • Occurrence of Marine Biotoxins in Bivalve Molluscs Available in Poland in 2014–2018

This article disseminates the results of a 4-year study on the occurrence of marine biotoxins in raw bivalve molluscs purchased from Polish suppliers. Material and Methods: A total of 256 samples of 8 different molluscs species were analysed for the presence of biotoxins using the ELISA method for paralytic shellfish poison, diarrhoetic shellfish poison, and amnaesic shellfish poison. Results: The permitted limits of marine biotoxin content were not exceeded in any of the analysed samples and the majority of them were free from these compounds. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the tested raw bivalve molluscs available in Poland were safe for consumers. Keywords: marine biotoxins, ELISA, bivalve molluscs, food control.
