A timeframe for re-opening all border controls eight lanes on the bridge is still not known. RNZ picture WELLINGTON — The Defence Force is to help with efforts to enforce the country’s Covid-19 border restrictions at sea. The crew of a German yacht was detained at the weekend after arriving in the Bay of Islands, in breach of current restrictions and have been jailed until they board a flight home on Thursday. Hundreds of foreign yachts have already been denied entry to the country, after wanting to escape the Pacific cyclone season. They have been critical of New Zealand’s stance, which was defended last week by Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield. Australia has taken a similar stance but was allowing applications for exemptions. Bloomfield said claims by foreign yacht owners their uninsured vessels would be damaged in a cyclone did not constitute humanitarian grounds for their entry to New Zealand.

The next stage is measuring the shape for spot spraying and identifying the quality of the spraying operations. At this stage, the plotter will do a mortality count, which records the numbers of tree that have survived. The pruning and thinning phase measures the quality of the trees to be pruned and thinned. Mid Rotational Inventory (MRI) is carried out when the trees are about 15 to 18 years old. Pre Harvesting Inventory (PHI), generates the log grades for harvesting and determines the value of the forest for the owner. This is generally carried out when the logs are 20 to 22 years old.
