looking at it .I would commercial at this stage. Maritime NZ has recently shared the interpretation as: “At all times – during the day, during the night, when travelling to and from fishing grounds, fishing, while at anchor, or drifting.”

Well "Farnk" yesterday I made a comment on the "Legasea" facebook page and now have no access to them,not the first to cop such a ban,dont like peoples view points if it goes against there thinking. They are the ones who want public funds so surely public input is important,right or wrong? There many good ideas around from both commercial and recreational but it seems its all left to few people running "legasea" and its there way or no way. Oh the comment. They were saying how much free fish heads have been given away and I read recently how "sanfords" had donated x amount to the p

learnt something new, who would of thought to ask?? http://www.mapworld.co.nz/global.html

correct but Auckland does have bylaws which one would thought would be enforced by the harbour masters https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/bylaws/Documents/navigation-bylaw.pdf The Bylaw seeks to achieve this in Part 2 by specifying general responsibilities of persons within navigable waters and the following specific responsibilities about – • the carriage and wearing of personal flotation devices on recreational vessels • how to undertake certain activities • the use of restricted areas, access lanes, prohibited and restricted anchorages, rese

aparently not yet,but give it time The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an agricultural, horticultural, and social pest. It's native to Asia and has spread throughout North America and Europe. It isn't established in New Zealand, but this sneaky pest hitchhikes on passengers and imported goods.

Trailer yachts, as we know them today, began in 1958 with the design by Richard Hartley of the "Hartley 16".

Forgot to mention, did ask where it might of come from .2 theories. Passenger ships as stated in a couple of news reports and possibly with warming oceans travelled via warm currents, no mention of aquariums though. Possibly been here longer than they think. Asian clams in Waikato river, no idea but deliberately released, they are only fumigating suspected containers where contents are unknown or from countries with known diseases, cannot detect everything. There biggest concern is the Brown stink bug, not here yet but travels on anything, everything can be a host, unlike say Army w

Was talking too MPI today today,control not eradicate now. There thinking is treat it like didimo and are looking at getting moorings dropped at a few places where weed is to avoid anchoring.

wonder the same.Was he making a passage to Mercs or Whitianga? Strange how they stopped at the Mokes

it will be fine if mechanical/engine driven water cooling system,just no charge going out,

So it can disperse in currents.Now thats a good idea🤣

Bugger me another species thats unwanted is now in the Waikato river. Asian clams' https://www.mpi.govt.nz/news/media-releases/call-for-community-vigilance-as-new-clam-species-found-in-waikato-river/ Initial checks have found the freshwater gold clam present over a 45-kilometre stretch of the Waikato River, from 1.5km upstream of Bob’s Landing, just upstream of Lake Karāpiro, and downriver to Hamilton. Mr Anderson says the plan now is to search further, both within the Waikato River and in other rivers and lakes that are linked through human activity.

Yes that why I emailed Eugenie Sage,she was Minister at the time for eviroment?Got a wishy washy reply as I said with fan worm being in Auckland and dumping so close to barrier,wont be long before fan worm is established.

Haha been here since 2021 but no action till 2022 https://niwa.co.nz/news/marine-invader-caulerpa-triggers-biosecurity-response Two new species of non-indigenous algae were discovered in mid-2021, identified by NIWA researchers as Caulerpa brachypus and Caulerpa parvifolia. New Zealand has some native species of Caulerpa but the two species identified in 2021 showed similar characteristics to the highly invasive Caulerpa taxifolia that has been problematic overseas. Caulerpa taxifolia has been listed as a Notifiable Species under New Zealand’s Biosecurity Act since 2001.

Nothing new,Australia has had it since 2015 or been monorting it since 2015? https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/dspace/handle/2440/104681 Populations of the green marine macroalgae Caulerpa taxifolia and Caulerpa cylindracea have invaded and spread throughout Mediterranean after they were introduced from Australia. In Australia, these tropical to subtropical species have established invasive populations in New South Wales, South Australia, and most recently, for C. cylindracea, in Victoria. Significant efforts have been made to elucidate the invasion history and geographic sourc
