DOC is calling for information from the public about two concerning incidents which have occurred in marine reserves in the Nelson-Tasman region.
Motueka-based DOC Marine Ranger Stew Robertson says the first incident involves a 14 m launch spotted anchored in the Horoirangi Marine Reserve, northeast of Nelson, on 5 November.
The white launch was detected on a recently installed camera which monitors the marine reserve.
"The vessel was anchored for 90 minutes, which is unusual and suspicious boating activity for this marine reserve," Stew says.
The name of the vessel is unknown.
