Hautai Marine Reserve is a marine reserve offshore from the Westland District and West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island.[1]
It is the country's most remote mainland main reserve, located south of Haast, a two day walk from the nearest road, in an area with no walking tracks.[1]
The reserve was established to protect marine habitats and animals of the southern West Coast. Marine mammals like New Zealand fur seals, Fiordland crested penguins and blue penguins are abundant.[1]
