Parties for and against Waiheke Island s controversial Kennedy Point Marina are meeting today after tensions rose when construction started last month and concern was raised about kororā (little blue penguins) in the area. Karen Saunders, a native bird rehabilitator and Native Bird Rescue general manager, opposes plans for the 186-berth scheme at Putaki Bay, Kennedy Point, but said hopes the meeting might clarify issues.
