  • POS-11 Geothermal
    POS-11 Geothermal: The Pacific Ring of Fire Through Maori Eyes - Post Kia ora and welcome to New Zealand the youngest country on earth. New Zealand’s diverse and dramatic landscape draws many visitors to our shores. From fiords to rainforests, ocean beaches to volcanic cones, the relatively untouched landscape is breathtaking, but what makes the visit so special for many is the people they meet. Maori people believe in the concept of ‘Manaakitanga’ this loosely translates as ‘hospitality’ – a concept that Kiwi people have embraced as part of the New Zealand experience. Kiwis are a friendly bunch and the care, engagement and hospitality we show our guests is based on pride and a genuine belief that this country offers something of everything. New Zealand is regularly rated as one of the world’s preferred destinations not just because of its dramatic scenery, wide open spaces, extreme adventure, clean air, enticing food and wine, creativity and flair but also because of the ‘can do’ attitude. Haere Mai. Welcome and enjoy your stay. Customs and MAF requirements On arrival you will need to complete both customs and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) requirements before you can officially enter New Zealand. MAF is responsible for agriculture, horticulture and forestry, safe food, a protected environment, the wise use of the land and the creation of clean, green product. MAF protect farms and wildlife from imported pests and diseases by minimising the number of foreign pests and diseases entering New Zealand.

These surveys assist in identifying the risk to public health from faecal contamination in these areas.

The objectives of this report are to present updated analyses for the 2018/19 bathing season, for the following: contact recreation suitability of approximately 70 river, lake, estuarine, and open coastal sites based on levels of faecal contamination; the state of faecal contamination at popular shellfish harvesting areas, and any associated health warnings; and contact recreation suitability of 13 lake and lake-fed river bathing sites based on biovolumes of planktonic cyanobacteria (free-floating blue-green algae). Faecal contamination at river, lake, estuarine, and open coast bathing sites Two indicator bacteria are used to assess the risk of faecal contamination in recreational waters. These are: Freshwaters – Escherichia coli (E. coli); and Marine waters – Enterococci.
