Rare giant kokopu, which in their infancy make up part of the group known as whitebait, are to be reintroduced to Auckland waterways.

A fisherman whose boat sank in the middle of the night was so determined not to surrender it that he swam the waterlogged vessel nearly 1km to safety.

A New Zealander was preparing to skipper a yacht in an international race when the boat was seized by Iranian authorities in territorial waters.

Moko the dophin injured two 12-year-olds when he aggressively tried to get hold of their boards.

Two orcas thrilled divers in Gisborne by swimming with them, while nearby, Moko the dolphin stole a surfboard, stranding its owner.

Warnings are in place to protect ships from running into a group of icebergs approaching New Zealand.

It pays to keep a close eye on the hunters in the sky, says Geoff Thomas.

Poor whitebaiting season underlines the need to preserve bush-clad waterside habitats.
