Surfers are reporting dramatic changes to the Whangamata bar's form. the channel is being constantly dredged because of the marina changing it's consent after the court case (now not rock lined) meaning a lot more material being permanently removed from the estuary's sedimentary cycle. The estuary is the shallowest in the North Island with 75% of the water volume leaving the estuary on a low tide. the marina basin' water level is lower than sea level at low tide. And this property development was thoroughly and exhaustively tested through the environment court? Lawyers will always win against science! www.whangamata-marina.co.nz
