Otago Regional Council wishes to advise the public that it intends to carry out weed control on the Pleasant River and Waikouaiti River estuaries and in Blueskin Bay.
The target species, Spartina, will be controlled by contractors using Gallant Ultra with hand-gun or knapsack application.
Work is planned to start in early November 2024 and may continue intermittently as weather permits until mid-December 2024.
Further information can be obtained by contacting the ORC — phone 0800 474 082.
Spartina is an invasive estuary grass that forms thick clumps, traps sediment, raises flood risk, and alters bird habitats.
