The home port of the vessel is Timaru and the vessel has fished within various Fisheries Management Areas of New Zealand waters. In April 2018 the vessel suffered a serious fire which caused extensive damage, resulting in around 50 per cent of the vessel being ‘gutted’ thereby rendering it unusable and uneconomic to restore. The vessel is currently berthed at PrimePort, Timaru. Several options have been considered by DWNZ for the vessel. The only viable option is to tow it to one of the five ‘authorised locations’ within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and to scuttle (sink) it using explosives. The authorised location (dump site) proposed to be used is located 25 nautical miles (NM) southeast of Otago Harbour. The proposed activity falls under the definition of ‘dumping’ with the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 2012 and requires a marine dumping consent from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). Considerable cleaning and preparation work will occur on the vessel prior to it being towed the dump site. This work will involve removing much of the salvageable material which will be taken onshore and either recycled or re-used. Material that is unable to be recycled or re-used will be disposed of to landfill or to facilities authorised to accept such material. In addition, contaminated water and fuel will be removed from the vessel and the tanks cleaned using Simple Green (a degreaser without harmful bleach or ammonia). The vessel contains some asbestos and this will be removed by specialist handlers and disposed of at a facility authorised to accept such material. Ash material from the fire will be put into the cleaned lower fuel tanks and encapsulated by cement which will be pumped into the tanks as ballast which is necessary to make the vessel safe for towing to the dump site. DWNZ will engage an independent recognised surveyor as published on the Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) website to approve the tow plan and to confirm the vessel is safe for the voyage to the dump site. This confirmation will be provided to MNZ in advance of the tow. The vessel will be scuttled using explosive charges. DWNZ has engaged explosive handing experts to plan and execute the scuttling plan. Four explosive charges are proposed to be placed at strategic positions on the inside of the hull and two very small charges will be fitted to the seacock valves – all the charges will be placed in the vessel, but not be armed, while the vessel is still at PrimePort, Timaru. A ‘Notice to Mariners’ will be issued by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to advise other marine users that the proposed activity will be taking place and this notice will also impose a temporary exclusion zone around the site, restricting other vessels coming near the towing and explosive operations.

Once armed, the explosives experts will disembark the vessel using the small tender and board the towing tug which will move 200 m directly off the bow of the vessel (which will still be connected under tension via the tow rope). Once it has been determined that no marine mammals have been detected within the specified mitigation zone (discussed below) the explosive experts will initiate the blast sequence. The first explosives that will detonate are the two very small charges on the seacock valves, followed by the four main charges, all with 25 ms delays. Detonation of the very small charges on the seacock valves will result in water slowly entering the vessel and the four main charges will result in blast holes just above the waterline. The vessel will initially sink slowly as water flows through the seacock valves and the vessel will be continue to be connected to the towing tug via the tow rope until water starts entering the blast holes, after which the tow rope will be released and rapid flooding of the vessel will occur, causing the it to sink rapidly. It is expected that the vessel will sink stern first and disappear under the water within 20 minutes of water entering the blast holes. Calculations have been undertaken to determine underwater noise effects based on the explosive charges that will be detonated. The calculated noise levels have been compared to known thresholds for the specific marine mammal species that could be in the area – these being thresholds that would prevent permanent injury to marine mammals. A 600 m mitigation zone has been established (based on the hearing sensitivities of the marine mammals that may be present) to ensure adverse effects on marine mammals are avoided to the greatest practicable degree. DWNZ will use a qualified marine mammal observer on the towing tug to observe whether there are any marine mammals within the 600 m mitigation zone - if any marine mammals are observed within the mitigation zone, then the detonation will not commence until the marine mammals have moved beyond the mitigation zone or the mitigation zone has been shown to be clear of marine mammals for 30 minutes. Once the vessel has filled with water it will sink very quickly through the water column (stern first) before landing on the seabed. This will result in the crushing of any benthic structures or organisms present in the area where it lands. However, the footprint of the vessel will occupy only a small area of seabed within the authorised dump site and, as such, these effects are assessed as being negligible. The proposed activity will have very short-term effects on any other marine vessels that may otherwise transit through, or close to, the dump site – these effects lasting a matter of hours while the vessel is being set up for scuttling. While the vessel is en-route to the dump site it will be like any other maritime vessel and the towing operations will be carried out in accordance with all maritime requirements (i.e. Maritime Rules Part 22: Collision Prevention). A fisheries assessment has been undertaken which shows that limited fishing occurs in and around the dump site. No trawling has taken place there over the past five years – presumably because the area is identified as an authorised dump site (shown as an Explosives Dumping Ground on the New Zealand Nautical Charts) and trawlers avoid the area. Based on the limited fishing activity over the past five years at the dump site and the fishing methods employed there, no adverse effects on commercial fishing activities due to the presence of the vessel on the seabed will occur.

Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

    The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 1.6 - November 2017 Good Day all members of the Seven Seas Club. Here is your November edition - I trust that you will find items of interest (Ed - [email protected]) From the Chairman The Navy has been very quiet over the last while except for SAS SPIOENKOP and SAS MANTATISI sailing every now and then for some training. The Durban based OPVs (Strikecraft) have conducted patrols along the coastline, stopping over in Simon's Town for fuel and a bit of R&R. They have returned to their base in Durban. SAS AMATOLA is currently getting ready for Exercise OXIDE, which is a search and rescue exercise with the French based at Reunion. The exercise will be conducted in Durban. Talking of the French, their ship the FLOREAL sustained some damage in Durban from the storm recently and will remain in Durban for a while to effect repairs. We welcome new members and wish all those with upcoming birthdays a very special day and a great year ahead. Report from The Treasurer Financial results for September were, once again, most pleasing, with our sales target achieved and bottom line exceeded. Thanks for the great support! Our Club Manager has been particularly vigilant and has managed to keep costs down, especially controllable costs such as water, electricity and stationery / printing and we are indebted to him. The targets for October are a little more challenging, but we are confident that they will be achieved if the current support from members continues. The signs are already there.

    Analysis of the Grounding of the MV Rena in New Zealand, 5 October, 2011

    DOI: ISSN : Analysis of the grounding of the MV Rena in New Zealand, 5 October, 2011. Ian G. McLean Dept of Forestry and Resource Management, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, Mokoia Drive, Rotorua, New Zealand 3046; E-Mail: [email protected] Corresponding Author: Ian G. McLean [email protected] ABSTRACT The grounding of the general cargo vessel MV Rena near Tauranga Harbor in October 2011 was New Zealand’s worst environmental disaster. The ship hit an offshore reef, creating hazardous salvage conditions, and the consequent spill of 350 tonnes of fuel oil affected 50 km of coastline and many islands. Many containers fell overboard, creating hazards for other shipping, requiring additional salvage resources, and introducing toxins to the marine environment that are still washing up six years later. The community responded to the disaster by flocking to the beaches and cleaning up the oil by hand, giving well over 20,000 hours of volunteer time. Short- and long-term environmental consequences for wildlife and the inshore marine environment are reviewed, along with the effects on the local economy, the political context and the management response. There were significant economic effects during the summer immediately following the event, but the clean-up appears to have been remarkably successful. While the above-water superstructure of the ship was removed, much of the (broken-up) hull remains on or close to the reef today. The final (legal) decision on the removal of the wreck has enabled abandonment of the wreck. There appear to be few, if any, long-term wider environmental effects although elevated levels of some contaminants are still measurable close to the wreck in 2017.

    A rare coleoid mollusc from the Upper Jurassic of Central Russia LARISA A. DOGUZHAEVA Doguzhaeva, L.A. 2000. Arare coleoid mollusc from the Upper Jurassic of Central Rus- sia. -Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 45,4,389-406. , The shell of the coleoid cephalopod mollusc Kostromateuthis roemeri gen. et sp. n. from the lower Kirnmeridgian of Central Russia consists of the slowly expanding orthoconic phragmocone and aragonitic sheath with a rugged surface, a weakly developed post- alveolar part and a long, strong, probably dorsal groove. The sheath lacks concentric struc- ture common for belemnoid rostra. It is formedby spherulites consisting of the needle-like crystallites, and is characterized by strong porosity and high content of originally organic matter. Each spherulite has a porous central part, a solid periphery and an organic cover. Tubular structures with a wall formed by the needlelike crystallites are present in the sheath. For comparison the shell ultrastructure in Recent Spirula and Sepia, as well as in the Eocene Belemnosis were studied with SEM. Based on gross morphology and sheath ultrastructure K. memeri is tentatively assigned to Spirulida and a monotypic family Kostromateuthidae nov. is erected for it. The Mesozoic evolution of spirulids is discussed. Key words : Cephalopoda, Coleoidea, Spirulida, shell ultrastructure, Upper Jurassic, Central Russia. krisa A.

    1 Country Note on National Fisheries Management

    COUNTRY NOTE ON NATIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS -- NEW ZEALAND Summary 1. This paper provides an overview of New Zealand’s management of commercial fisheries. It is New Zealand’s country note contribution to the OECD Fisheries Committee’s review of the use of management instruments/incentives in OECD countries. This review forms part of the Committee’s further examination of economic aspects relating to the transition to sustainable fisheries. 2. Part I of this paper briefly describes New Zealand’s commercial fisheries1. Part II describes the regime used to manage fisheries and information is provided on objectives, management instruments and institutional arrangements. This part outlines the Quota Management System (QMS), which is New Zealand’s preferred way of managing commercial fisheries and is used to manage most stocks in New Zealand fisheries waters. 3. Part III assesses the attributes of the property rights that are a component of the QMS. Quota shares are allocated to fishers when a stock becomes subject to the QMS. Each quota share is an ownership right in perpetuity and each year it generates an Annual Catching Entitlement (ACE). Quota shares are considered to demonstrate certain attributes of property rights – exclusivity, duration, quality of title, transferability, divisibility and flexibility. Opportunities exist for improving flexibility in use of the catching entitlements generated by quota shares. New Zealand is implementing an approach that enables quota share owners to act collectively and to propose legally recognised fisheries plans. This approach means quota share owners will be able to shape the management of the fishery, which should lead to more efficient use of resources and increases in fishery and quota share value.
