Native species threatened by water pipeline

April 30, 2017

An investigation has found a pipeline taking water for export on the West Coast will cut through the habitat of three native species – a rare penguin, the Hector’s dolphin and New Zealand’s most endangered kiwi.

The tawaki is known as the rainforest penguin, because it likes to live in the bush.  It is thought to be the second rarest penguin in the world.  Its population has dropped to 4000. Now a colony at Jackson Bay is threatened by a pipeline that wants to take fresh water for export.

A company, Alpine Pure, has consent for the pipeline to take water from Mt Aspiring down to a water storage area next to the penguin colony – and is seeking consent to take it five kilometres out to sea to a floating platform. The final stretch out into the Bay will cut right through the natural habitat of the penguin. And if the pipeline gets into Jackson Bay – there will be a “monobuoy” to hold the water. Tankers will be alongside it and take the water offshore, in an area that’s home to the rare Hector’s Dolphin. The pipeline is already cutting through a sanctuary for New Zealand’s rarest kiwi – the Haast tokoeka.

Prime Minister Bill English thinks the extension plan is unlikely.

mohi bush walk

At camp we went to mohi bush to have a walk.It was the biggest walk i have ever done.We saw a lot of poop and it wasn't myn one was huge and josh stepped in it.There was a lot of pink flags around us because we needed to know where the track was.I saw a beautiful tui.It looked scary cause it had red eyes it looked like a demon.We saw a huge hole it was 5 meters down it looked like the black hole.I cried coase we saw a bull and it was pretty big bull i thought it was going to ram me but it didnt.my biggest fear is probably bulls cause i saw a guy getting rammed on the news it looked painful.i saw a ruru and it was really quiet but then it started making noises and it hurt my ears it sounded like PAKAK it was really annoying.When we went right into the bush we saw a tui and it came right up to me and it started peaking my shoe and its beak went threw my shoe and it made me bleed.when we were in the van we started singing and then i fell asleep and Alissa fell asleep to.When we got back to camp we had rotation activate it was fun and we and showers and then we went to sleep it was a amazing day.
