Motu Matakohe, also known as Limestone Island, is a 37ha (100 acre) island just off the suburb of Onerahi in the upper reaches of Whangarei Harbour, Northland, New Zealand. Only five minutes boat ride from Whangarei city (pop. 40,000), community input has steadily increased over the years and transformed the island. Efforts are coordinated by a group of enthusiasts, the Friends of Matakohe – Limestone Island Society (FOMLIS).
