Hawke's Bay is home to an array of natural environments where you can marvel at an incredible diversity of plants and wildlife.
Wetlands form a critical boundary between land and water. In Hawke’s Bay we have examples of many types of wetlands. The types of plants and animals found in wetlands vary depending on whether it is coastal or freshwater, how much water flows in and out, how long it stays there, how deep the water is, how warm it gets and what nutrients and sediment are in it.
