Te Matuku Marine Reserve is a marine reserve administered by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. It includes Te Matuku Bay, one of the largest and least disturbed estuaries on Waiheke Island, as well as a surrounding area of sea.[1] It covers an area of 690 ha (1,700 acres) and was established in 2003.[2]
The bay and marine reserve are named after the now-rare matuku or Australasian bittern.[3]
