The announcement of Wellington’s marine reserve off the coast of Island Bay earlier this year was met with a sort of exhausted ‘hurrah’ from advocates at Forest & Bird. We were elated, but somewhat battle-weary given that we had fought for this marine reserve for 17 years.
I can’t remember what exactly I was wearing on the day we decided to take this proposal to the council but it was probably something suitably early nineties – stonewash zip-up jeans perhaps?
