www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz NEWS Ashburton Courier, November 5, 2020 11 Wakanui Beach legacy project LINDA CLARKE @ashburtoncourier.co.nz Wakanui Beach needs a windmill to generate power to pumpwater into its lagoon, makingthe whole area more attractive to birdsand people, saysagroup enhancing the beach. Water in thelagoon,or hapua,was key to life for flora and fauna there, said spokespersonVal Clemens. The lagoon,where Wakanui Stream historically exits into the sea, is mostly dry. But birdlife, including the endangered banded dotterel, are more likely to nest there if there is water. Mrs Clemens andSelwyn Price, on behalf of the Wakanui Crew doing the enhancing, updated the AshburtonWaterZone Committeerecently. Wakanui Beach was importanttoMaori in the early days and waspart of anetwork of settlements alongthe coastline. Areserve was created there in 1907 and a brick shelter built; the building is nowaprivate bach. Mrs Clemens said thebeach was popular to this day andon her last visit she counted 20 carsand three campervans there. ‘‘It is aplace of great Wakanui Beach supporters (from left) Val Clemens, John Wilkie and Ross Digby with amap of the coastal reserve. potential but you need to be a dreamer to see that.’’ Her vision,already under way with the help of the Wakanui Crew, Wakanui School students, farmers in the area and others, is to enhance the space with native plantings and try to stop people dumping their rubbish there. It was alsocommon to see areas where rubbish had been burned,she said. Equally concerning were the number of vehicles being driven through newlyplanted wetlandsareas. ‘‘One of thesignificant things yousee is vehicle tracks andbird footprints colliding.’’ Community involvement and education was the answer,Mrs Clemenssaid. As wellasrare plants, the beachreserveishometo native birds, some endangered. The banded dotterel, with adeclining population of 50,000,nests were hard to distinguishand eggs at themercy of predators as wellasunseeinghumans. Thebeach area wasassessed in 2017 andreplanting events happened in 2018,2019and this year. Mrs Clemenstoldthe zone committee the beach could be alegacy project that aligned with its aims; the committee could help findawaytoensure waterremained in the lagoon to support bird and plant life. She asked if they could investigate thepossibility of a windmill to pumpwater there. Theiractionscouldensure children 100 yearsfrom now might still be able to see a kingfisher,abandeddotterel or acopper butterfly,she said. Wakanui Streamhas been highly modified over the years and all but disappeared. Restoringsome flow is seen as amuch bigger story than what is happeningatthe mouth. Thezonecommittee has asked Environment Canterburyto provideareport on the hydrology of the area.
