What do you think of the new Te Pēiwhairangi/Bay of Islands marine mammal sanctuary?
The controversial sanctuary will come into effect on December 15. It bans swimming or boating within 300m of any marine mammal in the bay - or boats will have to stop if they find themselves within 300m of a marine mammal. There are also two marine mammal safe zones, which have a five knot speed limit at all times. What do you think?
