geography
The Coromandel Harbor is located on the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula , about 40 km north of the Thames . The place Coromandel is located at the northeast end of the natural harbor, which extends in both directions over a maximum of 6.5 km and has a coastline of around 30 km.
The Ruffin Peninsula and Whanganui Island close the Coromandel Harbor to the Hauraki Gulf , not without leaving two points of access. All shipping traffic passes through the southwest port entrance, which is 1343 m wide. The second port entrance, located between Whanganui Island and Ruffin Peninsula , is only 60 m wide and is not suitable for larger boats and ships due to its silting.
use
Oysters are raised in mussel farms at various points in the natural harbor .
Planned port expansion
An expansion has been planned for the Coromandel Wharf and Sugarloaf Warf facilities since 2014 . While Sugarloaf Wharf is to be expanded for industrial use, the development of Coromandel Wharf as both a marina and a commercial port is being considered. Other extensions such as boat ramps and park and ride facilities were also in the planning stage. As of December 2017, the project was still in the planning and decision-making phase.
