Requirements for taking a vessel into Fiordland Marine Area
The Fiordland Marine Pathway Plan protects the area from marine pests which can be carried in on boats. It sets out rules and standards that must be met by all vessels entering within one nautical mile of the landward boundary of the Fiordland Marine Area. If you take a vessel into Fiordland from outside the area you must: apply for a Clean Vessel Pass , and ensure that hulls are clean of marine pest species. The plan is an Environment Southland regulation. DOC has no authority below mean high tide except in marine reserves or concerning marine mammals – we do not enforce any fishing regulations. More information about the Fiordland Marine Pathway Plan . See the Fiordland by Sea: A guide to the Fiordland (Te Moana o Atawhenua) Marine Area - including maps, anchorages and fishing regulations.
