END OF THE GOLDEN SUMMER?: Camping at Turihaua Point (north) is prohibited under Gisborne District Council’s draft freedom camping bylaw which will go out for public consultation in the new year. The council’s policy paper says camping may be contributing to high erosion in the area while the site is potentially in the run-off zone should a traffic accident occur on the nearby state highway.

THE long weekend was busy in Tairawhiti for people collecting kai from the sea. Ministry for Primary Industries district team leader Richard Ratapu said over the weekend they took an educational approach on land, and on the water, which saw “good activity” all round. “At the moment we’re really working hard on informing the community. We are giving out pamphlets and measuring tools for paua and crayfish. “Most people are complying, absolutely. People are generally very good and they appreciated being spoken to and given the tools to measure.” Mr Ratapu said Tokomaru Bay was a very busy ramp on Saturday with one written warning given to a group who had undersize crayfish on board. The boat owner took responsibility and the crayfish were returned to the sea. “There were infringements given out over the weekend for undersize crayfish, and a good effort was made by the team of fishery officers and honorary fishery officers. We also have a TOO SMALL: This female crayfish is meant to be a prosecution coming up for excess kina.” minimum size of 60mm but fishery officers working at ALSO TOO SMALL: A male crayfish measured less than The minimum size for crayfish is 54mm for a the weekend found it was well under that measurement. the required 54mm when it was checked at the weekend. male, and 60mm for a female.

Scientist studying tissue under the Science in microscope forestry

he field of science within the forest industry is broad. T There are many opportunities for those with an interest in science and research, and especially for those who want to combine it with their love of the outdoors. Forestry Science looks at the genetics of trees and plants, soil and water quality, protecting forests from pests and disease, and managing and mitigating the effects of climate change. Our forests play an important part in providing a sustainable bio-based economy for the future. Forestry Science includes the study, research and analysis of plants and cultivation methods to improve and enrich forest areas. A significant part of the science is undertaken at Scion, a crown research institute based in Rotorua. Scion specialises in research, science and technology development for the forestry, wood product, wood-derived materials and other biomaterial sectors. Scion’s role is keeping forests healthy and productive. This includes: • Breeding better trees through phenotyping and genetics. It also includes looking at tree breeding programmes diversifying the tree species to include douglas-fir, redwoods, eucalypts and cypresses •Seed and pollen collection, gene mapping and DNA fingerprinting. Seedlings are propagated from seeds, cuttings or tissue culture • Carrying out field trials • Rural fire research • Reducing wind damage in forests • Making forestry safer through scientific development of new technology • Sustainable forest and land management. Sustainable management of forests involves the important environmental role in protecting our soils and rainfall. This helps prevent destructive flooding. water quality, and providing biodiversity. Careful management of freshwater is needed to protect our Many of the plantation forests in New Zealand were water resources as increasing demands are made on a finite planted for soil and water conservation reasons on erosion- resource. prone hill country, such as the East Coast.

The Gisborne Herald • Wednesday, October 28, 2020 SPORT 25 SPORTS BRIEFS World sprint champ banned MONACO — Men’s 100-metre world champion Christian Coleman was banned for two years on Tuesday and lost his chance to succeed Usain Bolt as the fastest man at the Olympic Games. Track and field’s Athletics Integrity Unit said it banned the American sprinter for two years, until May 13, 2022, because of three violations of doping control rules. Coleman missed two visits by sample collection officials and failed to file correct information on another occasion, all in 2019 — the year he won his first world title. “We see this case as involving behaviour by the athlete as very careless at best and reckless at worst,” the three-person judging panel said in its published ruling. Coleman can appeal against his ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The 24-year-old Coleman had been provisionally suspended from competition since May. Weeks later, details of his three so-called “whereabouts failures” were revealed. Athletes face a two-year ban if they have three violations in 12 months.
