WW2 Shipwreck in Hauraki Gulf w/ Underwater Explorer Kieth Gordon: 29 June, 2023

A WW2 era shipwreck in the Hauraki Gulf has recently been brought back to attention as a potential environmental hazard due to the oil it contains.

Although the remains have been explored, there has been no survey of the risk and experts along with the Hauraki Gulf Forum are calling the government to invest in further assessment.

Rawan spoke with Kieth Gordon, a long term underwater explorer who was the first person to bring up these risks 33 years ago, about what this means now.
