Section 14 of the Resource Management Act stipulates that no person may take, use,

We ran a marine oil spill response exercise
in New Plymouth’s harbour alongside Port
Taranaki, New Plymouth Underwater Ltd

check on the wellbeing of penguins and
other
such it needed to be removed and disposed of appropriately.
The levels in the drain at Ngatoro-D appeared to fall away to the corner next to the old skimmer pit, and it
was discussed onsite that a site visit when it was raining could determine if the drain was functioning
properly. Minor ponding was noted at Ngatoro-E.
Red algae was noted in the water storage pond at Kaimiro-F.
