Elizabeth Glass, 3 News and her camera man chose the perfect day to film at the wetland reserve beside Riverton’s estuary – the strong winds of the previous two days had dropped and the sun was out. Riverton looked very attractive and when the piece airs on TV3 news, it won’t do our reputation any harm! The interview was to follow up on reports of a very poor season for the whitebaiters and the plans of Estuary Care group for increasing whitebait numbers by breeding and feeding them in our Te Wai Korari wetland reserve. I was asked about habitat loss, the increase in dairy effluent in the Aparima and Pourakino rivers and the changes to the oceans where young whitebait feed. The news team filmed the waterways and ponds of the reserve and my attempts to find some whitebait amongst the water weeds (they were hard to find this year, perhaps in line with the very low numbers seen by whitebaiters). The segment should show on the 6 o’clock news as the summer season gets underway. I’ll post the date.
