New Zealand Lake Eels Stranded By Drought
Recent rainfall has caused water levels to rise in Pokipoki Lagoon in coastal Manawatu. The lagoon had dried out earlier this month, stranding thousands of eels. Volunteers rescued approximately 3,000 eels from the mud, though hundreds have died. The Manawatu Regional Council has launched an independent investigation into environmental data and potential unauthorized drain digging.
