As we've seen and heard over the last few days - Auckland has been hit hard with flooding across the region & parts of the North Island. To find out more about the impact of the floods on our farms, Alan Cole, Auckland Federated Farmers President joins Dom to hear how Farmers are dealing with the damage. Nearly half of New Zealand’s river network is partially or fully inaccessible to migratory fish, a new study shows. NIWA has conducted the first nationwide assessment of river fragmentation, looking for structures that can act as barriers to fish. These structures are often human-made and include dams, culverts, and weirs. Dr Paul Fraklin, NIWA Freshwater Ecologist joins Dom to share more on the study.
