Whitebait fritters are a nationally iconic delicacy. But if we aren't careful, soon there may not be enough of the fish left to fill those fritters. 

'Whitebait' is really just a catch all term for the juveniles of six species of fish. Five of these are migratory galaxiids, specifically inanga, banded kōkopu, giant kōkopu, kōaro and shortjaw kōkopu. The sixth species is common smelt. Recently, three of these species were updated to the threat status of "at risk/declining" and a fourth being labeled as threatened.  It’s not surprising then, that in a 2018 nationwide survey, 90% of respondents said changes were needed to make New Zealand’s whitebait fishery sustainable. 

Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage believes the answer is through regulation and has made a number of proposals which are currently open to public submission. These include the creation of whitebait refuges, removing traps from nets, and shortening the whitebait fishing season. 

Bronwyn spoke to dedicated conservationist Hans Rook about his thoughts on the sustainability of whitebait fisheries, as well as the proposed regulations. Rook has worked in conservation for 42 years, and has been involved in the creation and protection of whitebait spawning sites since 1987. His unique approach has seen the Hawke’s Bay become the only place in the country to have an increasing whitebait population. 

He began by telling us about the life cycle of the fish species that we know as whitebait.

While it’s true that some people in the Pacific are choosing to, or are forced, to leave their homes and land because of climate change, others are staying, sez Dr Dalila Gharbaoui, a researcher at the University of Canterbury.   

Dr Gharbaoui’s research looks at understanding the whole picture and raising awareness on the impacts of climate change, as well as what we need to do for the future survival of our planet. 

Joe spoke with Dr Gharbaoui about her work, looking at the neglected category of people that are either “trapped” or not willing to move to adapt to climate change in the Pacific.

The Exhibition "Let Us Drink the New Wine, Together!" has been curated by Alys Longley and Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira in collaboration with over 100 artists worldwide.

It is on until 13 May, in person at the Malcolm Fisher Gallery in Howick and online.

Alex Bonham spoke to Alys Longley, an Associate Professor at the University of Auckland's School of Dance talks about how the work is rooted in multi-disciplinary and multi-site collaboration pushing at the borders that divide despite or perhaps because it all began with artists being trapped at home during the Covid lockdown. 

Israel has now killed more than 8000 Palestinians, including thousands of children who are trapped in Gaza with no way to leave.

Israel is continuing to bomb Gaza indiscriminanently with a refugee camp among the most recent places bombed following the 7 October terrorist attack from Hamas in Israel.

However, the occupation of Palestine by Israel did not begin this year. Caeden spoke to Dr Rand Hazou, Palestinian-Kiwi and Senior Arts Lecturer at Massey University, about the impact the conflict has had both recently but also for generations.
