There are about 15 to 25 neglected boats on the Tāmaki river mooring that haven’t been touched in years, it has been claimed. “There is nowhere for any of us to put our boats,” said Chissell, who has applied to be on the wait list for a mooring, but was immediately declined due to lack of space. Some boats have been neglected to a point where marine life is beginning to create an entire habitat underneath. Elisabeth Slooten, a professor of zoology at the University of Otago, said neglected boats can “cause a hazard” for surrounding sea life.
