What you should know about Dive! Tutukaka
In many ways a typical of temperate New Zealand marine environment, the added factor of a constant current streaming South from the tropics adds a truly unique flavour. Tutukaka, the people of the Tutukaka Coast, Northland and the whole of New Zealand celebrated 25 years of continuous Marine Reserve status for the Poor Knights Islands. The Maori history of the Poor Knights is dramatic, turbulent and astonishing, especially considering the inhospitable nature of the craggy Islands. While there, a local chief recognised Oneho as a distant relative and helped her escape with her daughter.
This beautiful lily takes 7 8 years before it produces a bottle brush like stem that erupts into red flowers. The impact of introduced species has not reached these outlying islands, in fact the Poor Knights are a completely pest free environment, making them one of the most important offshore reserves in the country and providing a safe haven for many threatened native species. There are two species of native cuckoo that are also on the island, and they will replace the egg of the bellbird with their own. Around October each year 2. Gannets mate for life and once the female arrives the pair go through an elaborate courtship display which is repeated every time one of the adults return to the nest with food for the newly hatched chick. Conservation of precious marine environments is an vital task for the Department of Conservation and the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve.
World Heritage Status is pending, and UNESCO will make a final call in the next 12 months. Converging warm water currents, a micro climate and thousands of years of separation from the mainland have resulted in a unique biodiversity below and above the water line
The Maori history of the Poor Knights is dramatic, turbulent and astonishing, especially considering the inhospitable nature of the craggy Islands. They were mostly self sufficient, growing their own vegetables and harvesting the plentiful kaimoana seafood from the rich surrounding waters. During his absence an Aorangi slave named Paha escaped and made his way to Hokianga where he reported to Chief Waikato of the Hikutu tribe that the islands lay undefended.
However, several islanders were captured, including Tatua’s wife Oneho and her daughter. While there, a local chief recognised Oneho as a distant relative and helped her escape with her daughter
