The wai in Waitangi

We're drawn to the things that interest us most. Waitangi day is all about cultural and political issues isn't it?
But there's a detail that caught my eye in the various reports on the events at Waitangi Marae.
Swimming and shellfish collecting was off the programme, as the water at Wataingi is polluted and therefore unsafe for those seemingly basic activities.
I wonder how many from the media reported on that aspect of the celebrations.
