Vivaldi 55 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I see that the restrictions are still in place for Port Fitzroy, but is the caulerpa Rahul still in place for Onetangi? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 243 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 A bit hard to tell about what's happening at Waiheke. Lots of boats at Palm Beach a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 99 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Onetangi has become an official CAN rather than a rahui as of a few days ago. But iirc the terms are different, it's not a straight anchoring ban but a cleaning order Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 243 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Yes appears Waiheke was added to the MPI list last week. "Anchoring a vessel is permitted within the controlled area but cleaning requirements must be met before leaving the area. Instructions about this are below the map." https://www.mpi.govt.nz/biosecurity/exotic-pests-and-diseases-in-new-zealand/active-biosecurity-responses-to-pests-and-diseases/exotic-caulerpa-seaweeds-caulerpa-brachypus-and-caulerpa-parvifolia-in-new-zealand/the-legal-rules-for-boating-and-fishing-to-stop-the-spread-of-exotic-caulerpa/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsay 36 Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 Yet in Schedule 3 of the CAN notice it says: ”(2) Craft (boats) may enter and leave the Waiheke zone as long as they do not anchor within the Waiheke zone” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K4309 395 Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 Noting you can anchor in any CAN you want at any time as per the CAN notice, Schedule 2, Clause 1 (c) "no other alternative safe sheltering locations or mooring can be easily acquired" Oh, and the reason MPI has given for allowing anchoring in the Waiheke CAN is because the caulerpa is dieing off naturally. Who would have thought nature would just sort itself out? Just like fan worm and the other 2 dozen or so invasive species that are listed at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Died off or just stopped looking for it? https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/news/exotic-caulerpa-restrictions-place-parts-waiheke-island-new-location-found-near-kawau Quote Link to post Share on other sites
