Before COVID, few of us gave much thought to how far a sneeze can travel or how long a virus can live on paper or plastic. Post COVID, we’re all armchair virologists discussing ‘the curve’ and asymptomatic transmission. And we all accept there is no going back to ‘normal’. COVID-19 has changed us. We’re more appreciative of what was previously mundane, like heading to the shops or going to work. And we have realised just how important friends, family and community are to us. It’s changed the way we do things too. Hand sanitiser, contact tracing and video calls are the norm now. Sneezing in public will bring a dirty look if not a sharp rebuke. COVID-19 has also made us take a good look at how we do things as a nation. Coincidentally an extensive review of the health system has been released. More funding is to go into health and some significant changes have been announced. We have updated the content of this book to reflect what we already know and will continue to keep you up to date through our sister website, www.eldernet.co.nz, on changes affecting older people, their family and carers. This book is designed so you can take whatever portion relates to you and your situation (it’s unlikely that you’ll want to read it cover to cover) and to use as a reference, dipping in and out of it as you need. We’ve used colour coding to group relevant articles together. Some, such as THE BASICS, LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE and THE BIG ISSUES will apply to everyone, while the section on KNOW YOUR OPTIONS is useful to know about, if not for yourself then to share with others. Your interest in sections such as HELP IN YOUR HOME, VILLAGES, HOMES & CARE, RETIREMENT VILLAGES and CARE HOMES will depend on your individual circumstances. With regard to your options, it’s true that those with more available funds will find they have more; however the government assistance offered is designed to ensure that everyone has a dignified old age. We advise you to read, research and ask around for recommendations and advice. The more information you have, the better decisions you’re likely to make.

    TANE 22, 1976 RECORDS OF BIRDS FROM THE LEIGH DISTRICT, NEW ZEALAND by F.J. Taylor Marine Research Laboratory, University of Auckland, R.D., Leigh SUMMARY An annotated species list is given of the birds noted from 1966-1975 in the Leigh area of North Auckland. 90 species are listed from the area with a further three doubtful records. INTRODUCTION This account is intended to pull together casual observations made during residence in the district for the last ten years. The area is in the North Island of New Zealand, 100km north of Auckland at the north-western point of the Hauraki Gulf. The boundaries of the district are taken as the coastal waters from the Pakiri River mouth to the Matakana River mouth, up the Matakana River to Matakana village, following the Whangaripo Valley Road to its junction with the Wellsford-Pakiri High Road, and thence along the road to the Pakiri River mouth. Kawau Island is excluded, but the coastal waters out as far as, but not including, Little Barrier Island are included. However, some records from just outside this area are also included and are placed in brackets, as are dubious records. References to 'Ainola' are to the author's home on Goat Island Road. The area is composed mainly of farmland with scattered bush remnants, though the hill Tamahunga remains well wooded. The areas of bush are being reduced considerably as the result of farming activities. Whangateau Harbour is an extensive estuarine embayment which attracts some waders. The Matakana River estuary also attracts these birds, but is more frequented by people and boats.

    TANE 24, 1978 RECORDS OF MARINE ALGAE FROM THE LEIGH AREA PART III: PHYTOPLANKTON FROM THE WHANG ATE AU HARBOUR by F.J. Taylor and E.G. Durbin* Marine Research Laboratory, University of Auckland, R.D., Leigh (•Present address: Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island, U.S.A.) SUMMARY Sixty-eight taxa of phytoplankton identified mainly from quantitative counts made between September, 1967 and May, 1969 are listed with details of their occurrences. INTRODUCTION The Whangateau Harbour is a shallow tidal estuary situated on the north-western side of the Hauraki Gulf, 75km north-west of Auckland. It has been formed by the post-Pleistocene building up of the Tawharanui Peninsula in the south, leaving only a narrow entrance at Ti Point. The harbour lies on partly consolidated sands and muds, with Zostera flats, expanding mangrove areas, and large areas of bare sand. About 98% of the water leaves the harbour between high tide and low tide on the spring tides. This creates an interesting flushing habitat for the plankton, which will be discussed fully elsewhere. One of us (F.J.T.) began taking quantitative phytoplankton samples in the entrance channel in September, 1967. The other (E.G.D.) took over the sampling in March, 1968 and continued until May, 1969. During this latter period four stations were sampled: Station 1 was outside the Harbour in Omaha Bay: Station 2 was in the entrance channel; and Stations 3 and 4 further inside the Harbour. Integrated samples of the water column were taken by a hose-pipe and no net hauls were taken.

    Indirect Effects on seabirds in northern North Island POP2017-06 Summary of activities carried out to collect samples from fish shoals 2018 (Milestone 5) & overall project update 15 January 2019 Prepared by: Chris Gaskin, Project Coordinator, Northern New Zealand Seabird Trust, with appended report by Lily Kozmian-Ledward (Sea Lily Ltd), Associate Professor Andrew Jeffs (University of Auckland) and Chris Gaskin Cover photo: Fairy prion and trevally school. Photo: Karen Baird Figure 1 (this page): Larval fish and salps. Photo Edin Whitehead 2 Introduction This project (POP2017-06 Objective 2) sets out to identify the range of potential seabird prey species within fish work-ups, to: • Characterise fish work-ups by identifying and estimating abundance of the suite of predator species and record observations of their feeding behaviour, and • Quantify the composition of the mesozooplankton community associated with fish work-ups. By sampling prey availability within fish work-ups (and in the same water surface zones under normal conditions) there is the potential to provide further information on the range of prey species made available to seabirds by fish work-ups. This report summarises activities from 1 May 2018 - 30 December 2018. It includes cataloguing identification samples collected from September 2017 - April 2018. The report also includes observations made during the course of the study of other marine activity related to seabird feeding, that is, complementary to their feeding in relation fish work ups, most notably feeding over hydrographic features and in association with cetacean feeding. Methods Methodology for identifying zooplankton in samples collected 2017-2018 are covered in the report appended here (Appendix 1).

There are now buses from Warkworth to Wellsford, Snells Beach, Omaha and Point Wells. The bus which did run to Whangateau has been discontinued. From the support on the Love Leigh facebook site there is a good case for a bus and this is supported by our Local Board Member Beth Houlbrooke. Attempts to extend the service that went to Whangateau were ignored by Auckland Transport when it was established, so we need to get the message through this time if we want to get a bus service to Leigh. The support on facebook has been noted and we need further support for a petition which will be set up.

The 2011 report was a catalyst for a response by Auckland Council, Waikato Regional Council, Department of Conservation and Ministry of Primary Industries to sponsor a Marine Spatial Planning Process to address a multitude of terrestrial and marine issues which are known to influence the ecological health of the Gulf. 4 One of the serious issues the Gulf has suffered is loss of biodiversity in its many forms. MPAs or Marine Protected Areas can be effective tools for protection of marine biodiversity. Particularly Type 1 MPAs, in New Zealand known as Marine Reserves established under the Marine Reserves Act 1971, are known to be very effective at allowing marine life and habitats to recover from many years of degradation caused through fishing pressure, loss of ecosystem services and resulting trophic cascades.
