The government has announced they are considering a marine protection on the coast of the South Island.

The reserve will be over an area the size of Auckland .

Minister of Fisheries Stuart Nash and Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage announced plans for a marine protection network covering 1267 square kilometres.

The network would include six marine reserves, and five marine protection areas.

A document for public submissions on the marine protection plans will be released later this year.
