No they havent prevent bugger all. Told you it was going ahead. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/hauraki-gulf-kingfish-farm-clears-final-regulatory-hurdle

Did he give any indication how long before they think tanks will burst?? Picking oil will preserve inside of tanks.

Thats whats it for outboard flushing,there is an attachment that fits the hose and you pour it in. I personnally just use water. I do the taste test after 5 minutes and no issues

Re watched the programme last night. They could smell oil in the air then spotted a small slick,using sonar and dropping a camera down. The camera on retrevil had thick black oil on part of the cable so maybe not to far from rupturing?

Tv3 last Sunday had a good programme on it . Ocean Bounty. Where they located the ship as witnessed oil on surface.Sent a camera down https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/ocean-bounty/season-5-ep-13/S1247-430/M78402-189 Might have to log in/sign up

Im just impressed how quick they finished the project.Pity other infrastructures take months

Bring back the sh^t cart. Never blocked or broke

Funy you say that. That was our thought last weekend last weekend down the bottom end.

banana skins can make good lures too.

According to the guys who work/paint the bridge ,they are hammeheads,come up to the warm shallows to drop their pups,now f you want GW go to tipitai island (cake) on the Manukau,its their breeding ground. Theres a good book out by Mavis Brambly "sea cockies of the Manukau" her family use to catch them for the livers and render down for oil.

Yet during the 30/40/50s lot fished the sewer beacon at orakei.dont recall the old man saying they got sick.

She might be quicker without the foil drag?

One would think with the historical value of the Daldy. The poal would supply some funding and be part of the on the water exhibits at the maritime museum.

Maybe stop poking funds in the SS Toroa at Lincoln Rd and get the willie c back to operation.Went pass the toroa today trying to be polite here but shes stuffed. Should of kept the Makora but she is under the motorway extension at St marys bay. Could convert her oil burning but why would you,the amount of emmisions verses the smoke etc from volcanoes/rotorua/wairaki is minimal.

Manukau sold their golf course off(takanin) now houses and shops. I see the same happening at Pakuranga,apartments being built on the course where the water feature was.

Auckland boating population needs to find a suitable tide and grid at every available Wharf Where else can we clean off? You the council insist clean below good to go.Right.
