                   A marine reserve for Whangarei?

FOREST AND BIRD members at Kamo High School have been busy over the last three years with a proposal they have developed for a marine reserve in the waters around Motukaroro Island in Whangarei Harbour . The area proposed for the reserve is a fine diving area with abundant marine wildlife and is very accessible. The students , with the assistance of their geography teacher Warren Farrelly , have put together a pamphlet outlining the proposal and circulated a questionnaire to assess attitudes to the idea within the Whangarei community . They have consulted with a number of local organisations including the port company , diving club and Maori groups . The students hope that the reserve proposal can be formally distributed.
