Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013
Port History to Modern Day S:\Port Information\Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013 2 EARLY HISTORY OF THE PORT OF TAURANGA 1290 Judge Wilson in his Sketches of Ancient Maori Life and History records that the canoe Takitumu carrying immigrants from Hawaiiki arrived in approximately 1290 AD and found Te Awanui (as Tauranga was then named) in the possession of a tribe of aborigines whose name, Puru Kopenga, or full net testified to the rich harvest to be drawn from the surrounding waters. 1769 In November, Captain James Cook passed close to Tauranga (pronounced Towrangha ) but did not enter the harbour. 1828 Probably the first European vessel to visit Tauranga was the missionary schooner Herald that called during this year. 1853 Captain Drury in HMS Pandora surveyed and charted the coast and harbour. 1864 Under the Marine Board Act of 1863, the Auckland Provincial Government Superintendent appointed the first pilot Captain T S Carmichael on 8 December 1864. He fixed leading buoys and marks in position to define the navigable channel, and his first piloting assignment was to bring HMS Esk into the harbour. The first house at Mount Maunganui was built for him late in 1866, to replace the tent in which he had lived during the previous two years. Copies of his early diaries are held in Tauranga s Sladden Library. Tauranga is probably the only Port in the country to experience a naval blockade. The Government of the day, fearful that arms would be run to hostile Maori warriors, imposed the blockade by notice in the New Zealand Gazette dated 2 April 1864. -

Biological Invasions The Ins and Outs of Acclimatisation: Imports versus Translocations of Skylarks and Starlings in 19th century New Zealand --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: BINV-D-18-00423R1 Full Title: The Ins and Outs of Acclimatisation: Imports versus Translocations of Skylarks and Starlings in 19th century New Zealand Article Type: Research paper Keywords: acclimatisation, alien, birds, New Zealand, propagule pressure Corresponding Author: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences Průhonice, CZECH REPUBLIC Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. Tim M. Blackburn Petr Pyšek Order of Authors Secondary Information: Funding Information: The Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Petr Pyšek (RVO67985939) Hlávka foundation Dr. Pavel Pipek Rector's Mobility Fund of the Charles Dr. Pavel Pipek University Abstract: New Zealand is home to around 40 alien bird species, but about 80 more were introduced in the 19th century and failed to establish. As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions. -

Our Drinking Water the Safety of Kawerau’S Drinking Water Is a Top Priority for Council
OUR DRINKING WATER THE SAFETY OF KAWERAU’S DRINKING WATER IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL GOVERNMENT INQUIRY INTO DRINKING WATER Following the 2016 Havelock North water contamination which made more than 5000 people ill and caused numerous businesses to close for days, a government inquiry was held. The Stage Two Report from the Inquiry has recommended significant changes to New Zealand’s drinking water standards and the treatment of drinking water nationally. RESIDUAL TWO OF THE KEY TREATMENT DISINFECTION RECOMMENDATIONS of all drinking of drinking water OF THE REPORT water supplies i.e. treatment with chlorine WHAT IT MEANS FOR KAWERAU Council has made the decision that the only way to ensure the safety of our drinking water is to begin chlorination. From 1 July 2018, chlorine will be added to the water supply. WHY DO WE NEED TO START USING CHLORINE? Treating water with chlorine is backed up by science and more than a century of use around the world as a safe and effective water disinfectant. • Chlorine is recognised world-wide as the most effective way to kill bacteria, such as campylobacter, in drinking water supplies. • UV treatment does effectively clean water but only at the point of treatment. • Chlorine stays in the water so that if bugs get in at some point in the pipe network, e.g. through a mains break or contamination from a back flow, the chlorine will kill them. For more information visit kaweraudc.govt.nz or call 07 306 9009 SOME USEFUL FACTS ON CHLORINE DOES CHLORINE AFFECT THE TASTE WHY IS CHLORINE NEEDED AS WELL AND SMELL OF DRINKING WATER? AS UV TREATMENT? Not usually. -
