Organisers of a community event designed to discuss the
health of marine life around the Coromandel Peninsula are
calling for interested parties to attend and take part in a

iwi leaders, local officials, recreational and commercial
fishers, among others, will come together in Whitianga to

conservation.
Introduced social wasps are a
major problem in New Zealand, competing for food and preying
on native species. They are a particular problem in South
Island beech forests where they eat large amounts of
honeydew which would otherwise be available for birds, bats,
insects and lizards.
Introduced wasps are widespread
throughout New Zealand, with earlier work showing that paper
wasps are abundant on many northern offshore islands.
