Tauranga Environment Centre supports oil spill clean up
operation
The Tauranga Environment Centre has offered
assistance to the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, the
Department of Conservation and other organisations involved
in the Rena Oil Spill clean-up operation. The Environment
Centre also supports the rahui put in place by the Tauranga
Moana Iwi Customary Fisheries Trust and is liaising with
local care groups to look at protection measures for the
Waimapu wetlands, Matua and other estuary areas in the
instance of oil spreading further into the
Harbour.
There is a good level of information being shared on the response between these groups and the Environment Centre is in turn providing updates to an informed network of contacts. Regular updates will also be posted on our homepage (www.envirohub.org.nz).
For those wanting further information, a public briefing will be held this evening at Tauranga Boys College. This meeting will include updates from Maritime NZ, local MP Simon Bridges, local mayors, and the chairman of BOP Regional Council. The briefing will commence at 7pm tonight (Tuesday October 11th) at the Graham Young Youth Centre, Tauranga Boys' College, Cameron Road.
