Respect for the Gentle Giants of the ocean.
Respect for the Gentle Giants of the ocean. The project is to reduce scientific whaling in the Southern Oceans. The challenge is to understand the Japanese position and work within those parameters to influence their decision to reduce and ultimately stop whaling.

Little Blue Fairy Penguins at Te Rae Kai Hau Point Rock Pools Comment by Paul Moss: I understand that little blue penguins are less threatened overall, but the family that I have come to know about are in danger of losing their habitat. The appeal for the development goes to the high court in May, and humans may once again be the biggest threat, but right now, the penguins and their offspring are in all sorts of real danger. I see them standing around waiting for humans to leave or quieten down so that they can get home and feed their family. I suspect there are many more, as the location is the only dark spot for long distances either side. I saw two and possibly a third last night at 11pm. While the nest I located a week ago is on the bank between the road and car park I know they nest as high as 550Metres on Kapiti so there are likely more up the hill. They must be in great danger while standing around waiting? What can be done to increase the safety of these precious taonga? Why hasn’t anything been done to date at this location (that I know of anyway) we need tunnels under the car park and road, and perhaps cut the car park in half and have shrubs and ditches across the central part. What about the rats Ive seen running around there… what about cats and dogs and boy racers, who will take some action to make something happen before its too late??? Maybe some other dark areas can be created along the reserve foreshore by having the street lights replaced with approved types, and tunnels or ditches created to enable more hill access for them. Future threat: The model of the development shows total future destruction of their nesting habitat, blocking their path from sea to hill; who is doing anything about this on behalf of the penguins? Are we prepared as a society to sacrifice this colony for the sake of the greater good? I think that is faulty logic.. I believe every single creature counts while it is alive it has a right to be safe from humans and human created dangers. Maybe you can help increase awareness of their plight?

This full moon is a ‘Sturgeon Moon’ paying homage to the
sea, Tangaroa, which surrounds three sides of the point. The purpose
is to share the wonder of the sky, and raise awareness for reducing
light pollution. This is the third in the series of three, Atea, Tangaroa.
Papatuanuku, the land on which we stand, is the foundation of all human
