Poll: Do you think the clams can be eradicated?
Scientists tackling a gold clam infestation of the Waikato River will try and do what no one else has done before - eradicate the invasive pest from New Zealand waters.
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) have been given $10.2 million to eradicate the clams, which were first detected at Bob’s Landing at Karapiro in May last year.
