In term 1 and 2 of 2022 six classes from Waipu Primary School engaged in a Whitebait Connection programme with Programme Coordinators Nic and Pat. As part of their programme the students were lucky to have the opportunity to visit a pristine stream near Lang's Beach.
The stream had a high diversity of sensitive macroinvertebrate species indicating high water quality including mayflies and stoneflies. A diverse range of fish species were observed too including longfin tuna, common bullies, giant bullies, redfin bullies, īnanga and banded kōkopu.
