Takiharuru-Pilots Beach is one of the main kororā breeding areas in mainland Otago. Their population has dramatically increased from 20 pairs in the early 1990s to over 250 pairs currently. This increasing population of penguins is largely due to increased protection of the birds by the local whanau (families) and the Pukekura Trust.
