Hauraki Gulf at AllExperts (808 words) |
 | The gulf is largely protected from the Pacific by Great Barrier Island and Hauturu/Little Barrier Island to the north, and by the 80 kilometre long finger of land that is the Coromandel Peninsula to the east. |
| Other islands located in the gulf include Browns Island, Motuihe Island, Pakihi Island, Pakatoa Island, Rakino Island, and Rotoroa Island in the inner gulf, around Waiheke and Rangitoto; Motukawao Islands and Whanganui Island in the lee of the Coromandel Peninsula; and Channel Island in the outer gulf. |
| *(1) The interrelationship between the Hauraki Gulf, its islands, and catchments and the ability of that interrelationship to sustain the life-supporting capacity of the environment of the Hauraki Gulf and its islands are matters of national significance. |
