A fascinating exploration of some of Aotearoa' s marine reserves Aotearoa is renowned for its wild coasts, but after decades of overfishing, many of these marine ecosystems are under serious threat. A crucial response to this has been the creation of 44 marine reserves around our shores, and this book explores six of the most spectacular of these: Goat Island, north of Auckland, the Poor Knights Islands, Taputeranga on the south coast of Wellington, Hikurangi at Kaikoura, Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) in Fiordland, and Ulva Island at Stewart Island/Rakiura. Full of fascinating information and wonderful illustrations of the amazing sea life found in the marine reserves, ' Wild Coasts' is an inspiring tribute to these safe zones. It will be treasured by all young people who are interested in our marine environment. Written by award-winning illustrator and author, Ned Barraud, this is aimed at the 7-10 age group.
Ned Barraud has been illustrating children' s books since 2000, after studying art at Victoria University. He has illustrated seven books in the highly successful ' Explore and Discover' series about different ecosystems in New Zealand, and seven other books on his own, including ' Watch out for the Weka' , and 2018' s acclaimed book on insects ' New Zealand' s Backyard Beasts' .
