Whangawehi River looking at Invertebrates in the water

Room 2 had the most awesome day on the Whangawehi river. We had Nanny Rae and Uncle Arthur with us. We were also lucky to have Shane with us. He works for the Hawkes Bay Regional Council looking after the streams and rivers around here. He was interested in what we liked and valued about the Whangawehi river like swimming, whitebait, and water clarity. He reminded us about the eels that lived in the Whangawehi and how old they were.
We walked up the Whangawehi to the rapids then looked at the river through the turbidity cylinder, we looked for bugs in the water. Some people swam in the holes where whitebait and eels live. Very brave!!
