Layer: Anchorage areas (indicative) (ID: 4)

Name: Anchorage areas (indicative)

Display Field: NameBay

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Boat cruising is a popular and important recreational activity in the Hauraki Gulf with its large numbers of islands, sheltered bays and natural harbours. Cruising also supports economic activities associated with the boating industry, recreational fishing, watersports and tourism. While important from social and economic perspectives, these areas generally have no set zoning for exclusive use or protection from other potentially competing values and activities. This layer was initially developed in association with AYBA to acknowledge the importance of cruise boat anchorage areas and the value of maintaining sufficient open space for sheltered anchoring of boats during the range of weather conditions experienced in the gulf. These values need to be taken into account when considering the locations of other competing activities.The original dataset was developed in association with Auckland Yachting and Boating Association to assist with highlighting areas identified as “safe anchorage areas”. Anchorages are graded from “poor” to “best”. Includes information on what wind and swell directions they are sheltered from and any nearby facilities that may be present.Unconstrained Anchorages:Only minor modifications have been made for use with SeaSketch by clipping polygons to newly developed coastlines. Constrained Anchorages:Further automated geospatial refinement has taken place with this dataset to exclude characteristics unfavorable for anchoring including;- areas shallower than 2 m- areas of rocky reefs- areas of popular cruising boat routes- areas within 30m of existing and proposed marinas- areas within 30m of existing and proposed breakwaters- areas within 30m of wharves and jetties- areas within 30m of bridges and causeways- areas of marine farms & aquaculture- areas within 15m of undersea cables or within an existing undersea cable area- areas within existing Prohibited Anchorages layers- areas within Unitary Plan Significant Ecological Area - Marine1 overlay
