Paparoa National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island bridges the gap between seascape and landscape. Where the park ends a marine reserve begins, demonstrating the interconnectedness of New Zealand’s environment protections, which extend across the land, sea, and sky. On display within the park are ancient sea life and coastal formations created by uplift and water erosion. The famous Pancake Rocks look like oversize pancakes. Between the stacks of flat rocks seawater shoots up through surge pools and blowholes right next to onlookers. Beyond the coasts are incredible limestone caves and mountains. In 2017 the new Paparoa National Park Management Plan was released. The plan is a landmark example of national park governance moving towards co- management between the Department of Conservation and Maori tribes or iwi.
