The coastal edge of the Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One section of Te Ara Tupua now has two completed offshore habitats that Wellingtonians are able to glimpse on their day-to-day commute.
These offshore habitats provide a place for flying birds to land and roost clear of construction activity on our project, and had to be built early in the project to meet our environmental requirements.
Four concrete tidal pools have now been installed at each offshore habitat and are designed to mimic the rocky shore.
These are placed in and around the rocks that form the offshore habitats, and will continue to support marine ecosystems for species such as crabs, molluscs, sea urchins, plankton and other invertebrates.
