Seabirds are a common sight in the Hauraki Gulf. This region is home to a diverse range of species, each with its own unique characteristics and behaviors. Islands in this region provide the only breeding areas in the world for some seabird species.

Hawere has been out on the Haurakai Gulf investigating the spread of the invasive w**d - Caulerpa. Working with a group of research divers and a highly sophisticated underwater rove Caulerpa was located and mapped out.

Unfortunately, the consequences of this w**d spreading throughout the Haurakai Gulf will be devastating particularly to our seafloor just check out the photo of the w**d growing over this scallop and yes, the scallop was released back into the water.

The new NZ government through MPI bio security need to act now to control the spread of Culerpria throughout the Haurakai Gulf.

Back in November, Hawere left Gulf harbour for Kawau Island with 2 international exchange students to view Mansion house. On the way our skippers, Wayne and Mike spotted some Gannet's - big sea birds - diving into a ball of bait fish. It was a most spectacular sight.

Hawere set up a drift line towards the workup and the students with Mike's jigging tuition started catching Snapper on metal jigs - no bait on light tackle rods. One student even caught a 14lb Snapper!

What a lot of fun and a great way to explore the Haurakai Gulf and Aotearoa's abundant oceans!
