Library News We have recently received the $1000 donation we usually get annually from the Peninsula Libraries Trust. We didn’t get anything last year so I am eager to go out and buy some new books with this money. I will be working with the Recommendations and Request book we keep in the library, for people to say what they would like us to buy. The Trust was established in 1878 when a generous, far-sighted farmer put 40 acres of land into a trust who leased it out. The rent enables the three libraries on the peninsula to have money for books: Portobello, Pukehiki and Macandrew Bay. Our hours remain the same: Wednesdays 5.30 to 7.30 pm Fridays 2.30 to 4.30 pm the last Sunday in the month 4 to 5.00 pm (This month 30th August) This term it has been great to get back to a more normal school routine with lots of exciting learning opportunities on the go. This recent and hopefully brief return to Level 2 has meant we have had to postpone some events and do others in a slightly different way but school is going extremely well. We have had lots of interesting learning going on throughout Term 3. We are having a number of speakers coming in to talk to the students about groups they belong to. These people are working hard to take action to look after the planet and the diverse flora and fauna. We have learnt about the work of the Otago Peninsula Biodiversity group and the Year 6 children have been designing nesting boxes for birds, rat traps, bird feeders, weta hotels and all sorts of other exciting things for the ‘Dunedin 2040’ Exhibition in at the Polytechnic Hub at the beginning of September. Tara Murray who works for DOC and Tim Ure who is a water treatment engineer are sharing their work with the children. Year 3 students are investigating green roof plantings on bus shelters and rain gardens, as part of their study into Green Infrastructure for 'Dunedin 2040'. This week Marine Biologists from the Portobello Marine Laboratory brought many exciting hands-on activities for the children to experience and they loved carefully holding creatures from the visiting touch tank. Year 5 and 6 classes are also enjoying learning how to make and set off rockets with the help of local engineers, Nik Devlin and Michaela Day who visit each week. These senior classes also have a Mandarin Language learning session each week as well. The Life Education Bus visited the school to deliver Health Education programmes. We always look forward to Maria and Harold visiting us. Many people have been asking about whether the school is having a School Fair this year. The Home and School are keen to have a modified fair, probably on Sunday 29 November so mark that day in your calendar. Later next term we would love to receive donated books, toys and good condition high quality clothing to sell at the fair, so bear us in mind if your are thinking of finding a good home for some things you no longer have a use for. We would love it if keen gardeners might pot up some seedlings or cuttings for us to sell as well. It will be great for our community to get together for an event ,after this most unusual year we are all having. The school will be used as a Polling Booth as usual on October the 17th and will also be open the Saturday before for advance voting, on Saturday the 10th of October. An Eclectic Mix We are open Local artists Rod Eales, Jude Ansbacher, Anneloes Douglas, Sundays 12.30— Trevor Douglas and Fiona Stirling are having an exhibition of 3.30pm paintings, drawings and photographs at the Macandrew Bay Admission $2, Hall.

Just recently we had two families come wanting to visit the Airlie Bank Cemetery and looking for family records. Thankfully we have recently been given records on the Bayne family of Company Bay who have lots of other Peninsula family connections.

  • Your Southern Supply Base
    Dunedin Your Southern Supply Base Dunedin is the leading site for a supply base, logistics provider and support centre for the offshore and onshore oil industry in the Great South Basin and East Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Dunedin – Supply Base The Dunedin supply base is situated at the head of the deep and sheltered Otago Harbour. At present, laydown areas, wharf space and bunkering facilities already exist. Provedoring, marine repair and servicing facilities are also currently available. Looking to the future, the Dunedin City Council and Port Otago own a significant amount of land in this area and have identified it for redevelopment with provisions already in place to allow for this. Planning is underway for the construction of an International Logistics Hub and Offshore Supply Base to support the oil industry in the southern part of New Zealand. This would allow for easy development into a major industrial cluster and logistics centre. 1 CBD Supply base area Engineering cluster Wharf area Key Features: A land area of more than 200,000m2 25 km from Dunedin International Airport It is fully serviced for all utilities 10 km from the associated deep water Port Chalmers Container Terminal 24 hours a day, seven days a week operation is a permitted activity Within the proposed area there is provision for a tank farm Commercial shipping of up to 8.0 metres draft and 32.2 Commercial terminal and Stevedore services metres beam catered for at the Dunedin wharf system Provision for bulk cargo, warehousing and storage facilities

This activity in the Marine Department and elsewhere followed earlier intensive work on the humpback whale in Victoria University of Wellington. As the humpback industry declined attention turned to the sperm whale. Substantial field studies of this species in local waters were made by the Marine Department. At the same time there has been a steady increase in the data available on strandings of the smaller whales. The circumstances make it appropriate to provide a handbook of the whale species fo-und in New Zealand waters. This bulletin is presented as a review of the available taxonomic and ecological data and not as a systematic revision of the group.

  • Review of Underwater and In-Air Sounds Emitted by Australian and Antarctic Marine Mammals
    Acoust Aust (2017) 45:179–241 DOI 10.1007/s40857-017-0101-z ORIGINAL PAPER Review of Underwater and In-Air Sounds Emitted by Australian and Antarctic Marine Mammals Christine Erbe1 · Rebecca Dunlop2 · K. Curt S. Jenner3 · Micheline-N. M. Jenner3 · Robert D. McCauley1 · Iain Parnum1 · Miles Parsons1 · Tracey Rogers4 · Chandra Salgado-Kent1 Received: 8 May 2017 / Accepted: 1 July 2017 / Published online: 19 September 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract The study of marine soundscapes is a growing field of research. Recording hardware is becoming more accessible; there are a number of off-the-shelf autonomous recorders that can be deployed for months at a time; software analysis tools exist as shareware; raw or preprocessed recordings are freely and publicly available. However, what is missing are catalogues of commonly recorded sounds. Sounds related to geophysical events (e.g. earthquakes) and weather (e.g. wind and precipitation), to human activities (e.g. ships) and to marine animals (e.g. crustaceans, fish and marine mammals) commonly occur. Marine mammals are distributed throughout Australia’s oceans and significantly contribute to the underwater soundscape. However, due to a lack of concurrent visual and passive acoustic observations, it is often not known which species produces which sounds. To aid in the analysis of Australian and Antarctic marine soundscape recordings, a literature review of the sounds made by marine mammals was undertaken. Frequency, duration and source level measurements are summarised and tabulated. In addition to the literature review, new marine mammal data are presented and include recordings from Australia of Omura’s whales (Balaenoptera omurai), dwarf sperm whales (Kogia sima), common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus), long-finned pilot whales (G.
