Motueka Island , also known by the name Pigeon Island , is an island off the coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand.
Geography [ edit ]
The island is located 1.5 kilometres north-east of Cathedral Cove ,[1] to the east of Mercury Bay . It is tidally linked to Poikeke Island , a smaller island located to the west.[2] The island reaches a height of 66 metres (217 ft ).[1] Motueka Island is within the Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve .[2]
Motueka Island is an eroded Miocene era lava dome , composed of flow-banded rhyolite.[2]
Biodiversity [ edit ]
The island is primarily forested by native New Zealand flora, including kohekohe , karaka , māhoe , whārangi , tawāpou , pūriri and parapara . The summit area is a plateau, forested by large pōhutukawa trees.[2]
The island is a nesting place for Pterodroma gouldi (ōi / the grey-faced petrel). Several hundred birds nest on the island, despite the presence of Norway rats .[2]
History [ edit ]
The island is historically significant to Ngāti Hei , who are the mana whenua iwi for Mouteka Island.[2] It was given the traditional name Te Kuraetanga o taku Ihu, named by the rangatira Hei, who likened the island to his tā moko .[2] During the early European colonial period, the island gained the name Pigeon Island.[2]
