BY SAVANNAH WELSH Waitomo News

A proposed set net ban for all west coast harbours from Maunga- nui Bluff to New Plymouth drew 200 people to a meeting at the Ka¯whia Community Hall on Friday afternoon. The proposal is part of the five- yearly review of the Hector’s and Maui dolphin Threat Management Plan due to be updated in 2021. Local residents Boy Davis and 702 Rukuhia Rd, RD2, Ohaupo, Hamilton Alan Rubay arranged Friday’s 07 825 2893 | www.vilagradwines.co.nz meeting, because a series of publi- cation consultations by the Department of Conservation and the Ministry of Fisheries had not included Ka¯whia. The organisations are asking for the public’s feedback on the proposed options for managing human-induced threats to the dolphins.

Thousands of Kiwis have been working hard to improve our waterways, right across New Zealand. For starters, dairy farmers have spent over one billion dollars on environmental initiatives since 2010.

You can help out too - by using eco-friendly alternatives instead of disposable cups, plastic bags and water bottles (see thevisionisclear.co.nz for more tips). It all adds up to healthier waterways – for all of us.
