There were 30 moorings in Okiwi Bay at present, 28 of which were located within 350m of the bay s boat jetty. Marlborough Harbourmaster Luke Grogan said after talking with residents, his team decided that the bay would be safer with a navigation aid in the water, so ordered a light. The light, attached to a buoy, would be in place by next summer and help illuminate Okiwi Bay’s moorings at night.
