Information
has glosseng: Long Island is located in the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand. It is just over 1.41 square kilometres in area with a length of 4 km ( the long axis being aligned North-east/South-west)and a maximum width of 1 km - hence the name "Long Island". The island was reserved for public utility on the 26th of March 1926 and soon after became a farm which ran between 300 and 400 sheep until January 14th 1926 when the island became a scenic reserve. With the removal of stock in the 1930s the island has been left to regenerate back into native bush. In April 1993 the Long Island-Kokomohua Marine reserve was created around Long island and the tiny Kokomohua islands off its northern tip - it extends 460 metres offshore from the high water mark around the islands and was the first Marine reserve to be created in the South Island.
