Looking after our waters
As New Zealanders, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to water activities. We swim, surf, and boat on the moana (ocean). We paddle and fish on our awa (rivers). We sail and ski on our roto (lakes).
But invasive freshwater and marine pests can ruin our enjoyment of water activities. They can also impact the kai we eat, our drinking water, our drains, and the native species.
Biosecurity protects New Zealand's waters by preventing spread of harmful pests, weeds, and diseases.
