A boat that has been ordered to leave Fiordland is only the second to be directed to leave, after it was allegedly found with an invasive aquatic species on its hull. But Environment Southland is remaining tight-lipped on where the boat was found and when, what type of boat it was, where it was going, and whether it had left Fiordland. A report from regional council chief executive Rob Phillips, which was tabled at a full council meeting on December 16, says a non-compliance action has been started for a boat that is believed to have travelled from Bluff Harbour to Fiordland while in breach of the Fiordland Marine Pathways Plan clean hull rules and with suspected Undaria on the hull.
