This sampling site is at the boat ramp of the ski club near the bridge and township. At this point, the river provides calm water for water sports and swimming. A rowing club and waka ama paddlers benefit from long distances of flat water for racing (a yacht club holds events in the estuary closer to the coast). Along the shore, there are places for picnicking, walking and cycling. Nearby a destination playground is managed by Wairoa District Council and the town offers many amenities.
This site has permanent signage because water quality criteria can often be exceeded. Recreational water quality re-sampling from the Monitoring team does not occur here.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
