About Long Island

has been made a marine reserve below water, and a scenic reserve above. Essentially this means no fishing, hunting, camping, fires, or domestic animals. There were notably large numbers of juvenile crayfish, blue cod, and paua - all popular hunting/fishing targets - which suggests that the reserve is achieving its objectives. We dived the NW side of the island. The terrain is weed-covered boulders running out onto sand.
