What might the Hauraki Gulf look like in in 150 years time? What might you see if you dive under the water?

It will be dead
The NZ government have let EVERY SINGLE New Zelander down by not getting on top of the weed that was only at Great Barrier in a few of the harbours during Covid. Had they acted in time (which they knew) they could have killed the noxious weed. Now it has spread out of control and will wipe out everything on the sea floor. Shame on them!
