Pauatahanui Inlet

I went to a meeting last night discussing the health of the inlet. Not good in terms of silting from roading & subdivision development, algae and sewerage overflow in bad weather due to antiquated waste water treatment systems. Although I knew the edges of it, it was pretty sad to hear the extent.

we dont know these things until it seems an impossible task to remedy

Pretty photo of it, sad to hear it's not in good shape though :(

Such a shame as it’s oh so pretty.

Great light...it's a shame that humans manage to "bugger so much up"

Great evening shot! It looks beautiful. Hopefully there will be a positive outcome for it, from the meeting.
