Would you like to see oysters farms back in the south?

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

Big Glory Bay oyster farmers on Stewart Island have been paid out nearly $2.5 million in compensation after being forced to close their businesses.

The Ministry for Primary Industries made the decision to remove all the farmed oysters from the bay in 2017, after the deadly Bonamia ostreae parasite was detected on oyster farms in the area.

It's unlikely oyster farms will ever return to Big Glory Bay but would you like to see another farm in the south?

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
