An invasion in Taranaki! 👾🌊

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A sharp-eyed young Kiwi has spotted an unwelcome visitor, the invasive gold clam, in Lake Rotomanu. Because of this discovery, the lake and scenic reserve have had to close for now.

Why the big concern? These tiny clams can blanket river and lake beds, outcompete native species, clog important water infrastructure, and harm overall water quality.

A big shout-out to Max for helping protect our natural spaces! 👏🌿
