Each environmental composition bears its very own ecological system. In common so close to the sea is constant change initiated by wind, weather and pounding surf. Tirelessly these forces sculpture the coastline into new shapes that attract again and again to walking tours along the coast.

Regardless of the material present erosion shapes cliffs, reforms and splits material into reefs. Sand dunes wander or form sand banks. In Whatipu for example the shoreline was one hundred years ago more than one kilometre closer.

In spite of this unstable environment plants and animals made it their habitat. Some of the shore birds are solely found here in New Zealand.

Regular visitors are Australasian gannets at Muriwai, dotterels, pied shags, Caspian tern and oystercatcher at many parts of the west coast. 

Sometimes dotterels are faking an injury or oystercatcher are all set to attack. This simply means you got to close to their nesting place. Stay on tracks and walk below the high tide mark to prevent crushing accidentally their eggs.

Their breeding habits and the rareness of some species are reason for restrictions on dogs in these areas.
