I think that the fine in place to people that over fish is fair. The maximum amount you can be fined is $100,000. People need to learn that over fishing our lakes, rivers and ocean is wrong. We need to make sure that future generations can enjoy the fish that we have as well.
Activity 2
The Black Drain
1. The names of two polluted rivers in New Zealand are the Waikirikiri/Selwyn River and the Matarua River.
2. The Waikirikiri/Selwyn River is in the Selwyn District which is in Canterbury. The Matarua River is in Southland. These rivers are both in the South Island.
3. Farmers are being helped to put up fencing and do planting by the Governments Ready to work programme. This will help stop the manure from farms polluting the rivers.

Hi Hunter,
ReplyDeleteMe again. :)
I couldn't agree with you more! $100,000 is a lot of money but I think having to pay such a large fine is a great deterrent. Just outside of Auckland (where I live) there's a marine reserve where people aren't allowed to fish or dive for shellfish, but they can snorkel and swim, and hire glass-bottom kayaks to see all of the wonderful sea creatures that have been able to thrive there due to the no fishing rule. Are there any marine reserves where you live?
Well done on taking the time to research two New Zealand rivers, and for going the extra mile and including images of how the pollution in these areas is caused. It's wonderful to see that the local communities are working hard to combat this problem.
Blog ya later!
Mikey :)
Kia ora Hunter,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) team. I see that you've posted your final day of activities - ka pai!
I've just gone back through the tracker, and I can see that for this day, you seem to have missed activity three - Faded Glory (I've posted the link to week 2 below). For this activity, you need to think of some ways that people can fundraise to help preserve the Great Barrier Reef.
