Today we were lucky to have Jim Fyfe from DOC come and talk to the year 8 group. Jim is a ranger
for the Department of Conservation coastal conservancy. He specialises
in helping to protect our critically endangered New Zealand Sea Lion.
Jim spoke about how the Sea Lion is in decline in the Auckland Islands,
mainly because they have to work so hard for their food and because they
had been getting caught in trawling nets. In Otago however their
population is slowly growing as their food is more readily available and
they have more resources left to successfully reproduce. Thanks Jim!
