We Need Your Eyes On The Water
Work recently carried out by Greater Wellington Regional Council in Wairarapa turning a meandering braided river into a lifeless channel.
If you see any bad activity when you're out and about fishing the region's rivers, please take a photo and let us know what you've happened across.
Recently an angler took some shocking images of stock in water (dead and alive) and the ghastly impact it was having on the water quality. A simple photo taken on the cell phone and details of where it was taking place has meant the matter can be followed with the local authorities.
We're also interested in photos of atrocious river bulldozing like that illustrated above. There's no reason for rivers to be destroyed in this manner, in this day and age, particularly by the regional council which professes to be looking after the environment.
If you encounter any such activity please email the pics and details to us.
