Mangonui Candidates Meeting
August 10, 2005
I'll be attending this meeting tonight:
THE DOUBTLESS BAY MARINE PROTECTION GROUP
Is hosting an evening at the Mangonui Hall for the local community to "meet the candidates" to discuss marine issues.
TIME: 7pm.
DATE: Thursday 11th August
VENUE: Mangonui Hall - Mangonui.
Format of the Evening:
The invited guests will each be given 5 minutes to present their
- "Oceans Policy"
with particular regard to:
- Fisheries ,
- Marine protected Areas,
- Seabed Mining.
This will be followed by one minute for each guest to answer the following preset questions:
1. What will you do to reverse our loss of marine biodiversity?
2. With SNA1 estimated to be down to 16% of original biomass and SNA8 down to 8%, what do you intend to do to guarantee to locals that they will still be able to put fish on the table?
3. What will you do to reduce, the problem of high grading and dumping of bycatch.
Each question will be answered by all parties before we go on to the next.
We will then have questions from the floor.
We expect the evening to last about 2 hours.
For further information phone 408 1086 between 9am and 4pm

How did it go. I bet you had more fun than the audience at Auckland's Centennial Theatre tonight. Eight pollies on stage, and not one with a spine. :-/

It was great! :) I had a ball. The pollies didn't know what hit them. I'll write something up in the next hour to give a full account of what happened.
