Keep NZ's waterways clean! Avoid 'Hitchhikers' - Unwanted organisms such as Didymo pose a serious threat to the environment. If you are moving from one waterbody to another, without realising it, you could be spreading Didymo or other unwanted pests - they hitchhike on clothing and equipment, including cars, boats, kayaks, trailers, wetsuits & fishing gear..

Be a responsible traveller and CHECK, CLEAN & DRY your equipment !!!
