Karewa (Māori: Te Motu o Karewa), is a small, 3.57 ha (8.8 acres), predator free wildlife sanctuary[1] in the Bay of Plenty. It is about 6 km (3.7 mi) off Matakana Island and administered by the Department of Conservation (DoC), with Ngāti Ranginui. Its main species are tuatara and flesh-footed shearwaters.[2] A legend of Taurikura relates how the tuatara on Karewa are descended from a chief's errant daughter.[3]
