Comments and Feedback
A very popular fishing and Diving spot, commercial fisherman use the wharf as well. Many beer bottles found and the amount of fishing line is unbelievable. Have to be very aware of getting entangled. We like to keep the site as clean as possible as it has its own colony of sea horses that needs to be looked after.
The cleanup was undertaken by a group of divers, snorkelers and shore support employees from Eroad NZ, we all have to do a Volunteer day once a year and what better way to contribute to the environment. Many thanks to Eoad NZ for there support and a great lunch.
