Psyche

Its a bit pessimistic but I dont think we can stop the natural spread, if at all, even with a massive increase in funding to remove it but that doesnt mean we should be careless. At some point people will have to accept that its here to stay and then we are all in management mode.

I am pretty sure that it's still going to be "Coastguard" for the foreseeable, since no one it going to be saying "quick, call the Tautiaki's when they hit the rocks. It's a nice gesture, but it's just a marketing slogan in the same way the dolphins were plastered over everything in the 90's.

Hang on are you saying that a privately owned sailing event catering to a special interest group has cost taxpayers millions 🧐.... again!

You made the right call

Iwi, first it's dolphin whispering, and now they are running fishing vessels into the noises, what next!!! I guess they havent read the ammendment which has been law since 2014 https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2014/0060/latest/DLM4794424.html

One wonders how these things still occur with modern navigation systems https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fishing-boat-run-aground-in-the-noises-hauraki-gulf/AZUXFTNDUVG7LPU4CD7H73YAYI/

Dolphins?

Read some of the research https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/marine-mammals/dolphins/maui-dolphin/facts/

I doubt that many have bothered because its in the too hard basket, no one is going to heave to if some dolphins start playing in your bow wave! Ok, so totally unrelated 🤣

anyone know what the north cape gate is for?

The leaders are just getting to the lumpy stuff

and anyone with a hollow SS shaft thats getting on i.e 30 plus years should get it x rayed, they were pretty popular on a lot of NZ built boats
