editIf the following are no longer true, then perhaps someone can cite a reference to the change. Rather than simply deleting the information, perhaps it can be stated that it was true, once, but is no longer so:
- Ironically some gorse bushes, an introduced invasive species, are maintained on Mana Island. The gorse provides protection from predators for the Cook Strait giant weta which are active at night.
- Mana Island is the only New Zealand rodent free island that still has a jetty. It is illegal to land on Mana Island without a permit and there have been calls to destroy the jetty to limit this temptation.
As far as I am aware their continues to be both gorse & a jetty at Mana Island. Karora 11:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I am a local to Porirua and visit the island at least once a month. I can confirm that a) there is now no jetty b) unlike Kapiti, visitors do not require a permit, although they need to report to the ranger on arrival. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikado123 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
