The Hauraki Gulf area is important to New Zealanders because fish is an important food to Kiwis, and 50% of all fish caught for kai at the Hauraki Gulf is sold to Aucklanders. The fish from the Hauraki Gulf helps provide abundant fish stocks. However, overfishing and human activity has had a huge impact on the moana. This has become such a big problem that 27% of the Hauraki Gulf is closed to trawling. As well as this, there are rules in place for fishing, and marine reserves have been created to widen the population of fish in the Gulf. Marine reserves ban fishing.

The Hauraki Gulf is New Zealand's largest marine reserve and an extremely popular place for tourism. The most popular tourist activities there are bushwalking, kayaking, sailing, and diving.

Humans drop and leave rubbish everywhere which gets in to the oceans. The fish and marine creatures eat the rubbish which makes them sick and kill them. This can help cause species to go extinct.

Humans also eat fish so they sometimes over fish in areas and the animals don't make more of themselves.

When humans have oil spills the oil polutes the ocean and when animals acidently swim through it they can die from the chemicals in the oil. The oil clogs up their gills so they can't breath.
