ffs the govt spending millions on this while half the Cooks can't even get a bloody decent road. Priorities are cooked.

eh i'd rather they know what's in the water than just guessing. roads can wait a month mate

About time we got some real data on what's happening out there. Blokes on fishing boats been saying the ocean's changing for years.

Lovely to see science happening in our beautiful islands! Hope they find some good stuff to protect our waters 🌊

This is what we need more of - evidence-based policy. The sea level rise isn't waiting for us to argue.

James O’Brien2026-07-17T22:54:00.000Z

true. Seen the temp spike myself the last few seasons.

Casey Adams2026-07-17T23:26:00.000Z

haha cope harder. scientists know more than some random on facebook.

get stuffed we're staring down a climate crisis and you want more studies. we need action not more bloody data.

Worked a survey vessel for years. Those CPR machines are finicky as hell. Hope they got spares.

Sage Lawson2026-07-17T23:40:00.000Z

yeah nah i'll believe it when i see the results. They say a lot of things.

Chloe Martin2026-07-18T00:05:00.000Z

oh wow they're picking up plankton. so groundbreaking. meanwhile did anyone ask the locals what they've seen? nah didn't think so.

Rowan Blake2026-07-18T00:36:00.000Z
