Appendix 1 Volume Three 11. Forested Ridges around Crail Bay Associative - DOC reserve extends along the ridges of much of this area. Values Overview Based on the above values, the forested ridges around Crail Bay have been identified as ONF's due to their exceptional biophysical and associative landscape values and very high sensory landscape values. Situated on the landform separating Pelorus Sound from Kenepuru Sound, the upland forested ridges of this area are largely under DOC management. Upland vegetation communities, including those of the Bobs Knob Scenic Reserve at the south-eastern head of Crail Bay, are nationally significant for plant and animal diversity. A large area of indigenous vegetation extends in places from Bobs Knob to the water’s edge and, at the northern side of Kenepuru Sound, at St Omer Bay, Gold Reef Bay, Weka Point and Mills Bay. Distinctive peninsula landforms at Hopai Bay and Kaiaho Point are interesting and highly memorable. Modifications include: road (Kenepuru) and tracks; vegetation clearance; forestry; power lines; buildings; jetties and moorings; and the partial inclusion of a limited number of marine farms. 12. Cape Jackson, Cape Lambert and Alligator Head Biophysical - Geopreservation site: Cape Jackson drowned ridge crest. Values Cape Lambert headland vegetation, exceptional biodiversity on both Cape Lambert - and Cape Jackson. - Steep eroded cliffs and rocky shores, dominated by high energy waves define this exposed landscape. - Cape Jackson, Cape Lambert and the interconnecting outer waters hold outstanding levels of natural character. Perceptual - Cape Jackson is a superb example of a drowned ridge crest. Values Impressive ridgeline of the forested high peaks above Guards Bay and Port Gore, - leading to Mount Stokes. - Cape Jackson, Cape Lambert and Alligator Head have wild and rugged forms that are extremely legible and assist in defining the two outer Sounds bays of Port Gore and Waitui Bay. - Largely unmodified coast. - Cape Jackson marks the western entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound. The lighthouse is very memorable and used as a reference point. - High experiential values, which are due to remote and expansive seascape vistas of a wild and exposed nature. - The darkness of the night sky adds to the sense of remoteness. Associative - Popular areas for open ocean fishing. Values Headlands act as navigational landmarks for boaties. - Overview Based on the above values, Cape Jackson, Cape Lambert and Alligator Head have been identified as ONF's due to their exceptional biophysical and associative landscape values and very high sensory landscape values. Steep eroded cliffs and rocky shores, dominated by high energy waves, define this exposed landscape. This is a largely unmodified section of coast, with exposed rocky bluffs, headlands and reefs. Cape Jackson, Cape Lambert and Alligator Head retain wild and rugged forms that are extremely legible, which assists in defining the two outer Sounds bays of Port Gore and Waitui Bay. Cape Jackson is a superb example of a drowned ridge crest and is a listed geopreservation site. Exceptional biodiversity is exhibited at Cape Lambert and in the threatened plants, remnant forest and regenerating App 1 - 12
