Development

I have always assumed when humans ‘develop’ land, some of it ends up in the ocean. I had a look at some of the Glen Innes development in the rain today to see what was going on.

It was good to see development companies trying but unfortunately all this mud ends up smothering marine life and poisoning the Hauraki Gulf. Not such a nice development.
