As an Island nation blessed with beautiful beaches, a spectacular
coastline and many magnificent lakes and rivers it is no surprise that New
Zealanders like to spend so much time in and around water. WaterWeb
has been developed to help provide the essential information all New
Zealanders need to know for an enjoyable and safe time on the water.
WaterWeb is a resource for all New Zealand communities and we
strongly encourage you to utilise the information to help keep you, your
family and loved ones safe in, on and under the water.
WaterWeb provides statistical information, the latest news
plus access to free educational programmes and resources. There are also
