Fishing may still carry a reputation for being a man’s game, but in Whitianga, tides are changing.

At the time of my employment in 2016, Great Mercury Island had only just been officially recognised as a pest-free island, after a major pest eradication in 2014 focused primarily on rats, but also feral cats.
When I started working at Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre in 1990, I knew very little about Saudi Arabia, except that it had a lot of oil and a lot of sand.
This year at the local government elections, 9 September to 10 October, Kiwis will have the opportunity to vote for fair representation in our local governments.
I grew up in a small town called Tokoroa. A town built on pine forestry, farming and sustained by a pulp mill. Conservation and nature was not a key part of the local culture.
