Matiu / Somes Island is the largest of three islands in the northern half of Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. It was the site of military and quarantine internments, as well as animal quarantine until 1995. Since 1995, it has been designated as a scientific and historic reserve. Following environmental restoration and the translocation of species, the island is now home to many native birds, invertebrates, reptiles and plants.
