No one will be allowed to take any kind of marine life from three reef areas surrounding Mōtītī Island from tomorrow onwards. This follows a decision made by the Environment Court that has ruled the area's biodiversity and cultural value to be special and in need of protection. The protected areas around the island will be in place from August 11 and are the first of their kind for the Bay of Plenty.
