Today’s announcement by Biosecurity NZ that Waikato River is home to the invasive Freshwater Gold Clam is a huge disappointment and will likely draw a strong reaction from Marae along the length and breadth of our tupuna awa.
That is the reaction from Waikato-Tainui Chair Tukoroirangi Morgan this morning as the iwi contemplates how it responds to this latest incursion.
To say I am mortified is an understatement said Mr Morgan, “more needs to be done to protect our fragile ecosystem against all introduced pests that find themselves in our waterways.”...

Here we go again!!! Clowns.
If its not the wetlands, its the awa again.
Push MPI for eradication as much as you can. The thing going in your favour in this situation - dare I say it - are the dams and their national significance. But you can also argue significant impacts to maatauranga due to the potential displacement of culturally important species like kaeo, (and in Te Puuaha - tio and pipi), and the cultural practices related to them.
Want to kick-start your career in farming? We're looking for two motivated rangatahi to participate in our two-year Tua Whenua Rural Cadetship programme where you will learn practical farming skills and knowledge whilst gaining a qualification... plus you'll get paid for it too! So if you've got what it takes to be a Rural Cadet, apply with us today!
