As we reported recently, Napier Port has created an on-site 750 square metre sanctuary with 50 custom-built nesting boxes. Here’s our video report, prepared by BayBuzz videographer Patrick O’Sullivan.

Great to see a commercial venture setting aside land for an environmental cause – well done Port of Napier.
Great work John and Paul.
I’m glad the number of penguins coming to nest is growing. And great to see the students involvement in painting nesting boxes. Great awareness-raising project.
Was the project a mitigation requirement for getting consent to dismantle part of the rock wall, where the penguins lived, for the new super-wharf?
Thank you
That’s very heartening
