Around the Motu: Andrew McRae in Hamilton

The invasive Gold Clam has been found in the Waikato River. Andrew says it's a concern because the exotic species is a prolific breeder - producing 400 offspring in one day - which can clog up water-based infrastructure like water treatment plants and irrigation systems. Fieldays kicks off tomorrow - after Covid it's now back to its regular June schedule and a decision is due on Friday on the final plan for Founders Theatre.
