- The Ōhau Point NZ Fur Seal Sanctuary
- Changes to recreational fishing regulations, reduction in recreational daily bag limits for a number of finfish and shellfish species and a daily limit for bladder kelp and karengo
- Telson Clipping Rule
- A new marine reserve: Hikurangi Marine Reserve, which covers our wonderful international recognised canyon full of unique goodies.
