Issue date
For Auckland boaties heading to Northland, the Coromandel or the Bay of Plenty this summer, there are regional council rules in place to prevent the spread of marine pests, and separate requirements on the part of marinas. In light of this an information evening will be held at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on November 7 for all club members and harbour uses.
Northland Regional Council marine biosecurity officer Irene Middleton will give an overview of the rules, address some common misconceptions and highlight some current trends.
She will also introduce a recently-launched website – www.marinepests.nz – set up to provide boaties with easy access to the regional council rules and marina requirements for multiple regions.
With planning well advanced for the Royal NZ Navy’s 75th Anniversary Celebrations and International Naval Review, the Auckland Yacht & Boating Association would like to invite all club members to a presentation from the Navy, covering a brief overview of this event which runs from 10th to 22nd November 2016
The presentation will address ship movements, restriction zones and information about the open day.
You will need to be aware of all this information if boating in and around the harbour and gulf during this period.
