SATELLITE DERIVED POSITIONS
Positions obtained from satellite navigation systems referred to WGS 84 Datum can be plotted directly onto this chart. Caution must be exercised in the transfer of geographical positions to other charts not in terms of WGS 84 Datum.

COASTAL NAVIGATION
Mariners should exercise caution when navigating in the vicinity of these islands due to the lack of survey data and also due to the known volcanic activity of the area; there may be less water than charted.

NATIONAL NATURE RESERVES
The Kermadec Islands are legally protected as National Nature Reserves. Entry to the islands, including any landings, is strictly prohibited except under permit. Contact the Department of Conservation for further information. See also the "New Zealand Pilot".

NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
Certain lights, buoys and beacons in the inner waters and channels are not shown on this chart.  For these the larger scale charts must be consulted.

VOLUNTARY CODE
Vessels laden with oil or other harmful liquid substances in bulk are to keep at least 5 nautical miles off the land, any charted danger, or any outlying island(s), until reaching the position where alteration is required to make port.
