The New Zealand Herald recently had an article concerning the possible construction of a steam electric power plant in Kaipara Harbour along the Wellsville shoreline. If anyone is interested in learning about possible environmental effects related to such a power plant including its thermal discharge, entrainment of fish eggs and larvae, and possible distributions of anti-fouling compounds and their bi-products within the Harbour,and how these problems might be studied beforehand please contact:

[edit] Area of Kaipara Harbour

is quoted as 530 sq km or 330 mi (not sq mi) - but 530 sq km is about 200 (not 330) sq mi. What is the correct area??

Te Ara gives it as 500 sq km, so I'll change it to that so it's referenced. That doesn't mean the original figure of 530 sq km is wrong, since measurements of a bay are going to change depending on whether you take high- or low-water figures, and I imagine the mudflats would change a bit over the years too.-gadfium 07:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
