After some time away from 95bFM, reporter Jack Marshall made his triumphant return to the bFM newsroom where he’s taking up his role as host of The Green Desk.
This week on the Green Desk, Jack goes spotlighting with Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust at an Auckland golf course to find nature thriving in its waterways.
This week on the Green Desk, Jack Marshall spoke with freshwater scientist Ian Kusabs about a breakthrough in monitoring kōura, New Zealand’s freshwater crayfish.
Kusabs, of Ngāti Tūwharetoa, is a busy man, working with The University of Waikato, iwi groups, and NIWA as a freshwater scientist.
This week Kusabs told the Green Desk about whakaweku, which are bundles of bracken fern, that have proved exceptional at monitoring kōura compared with other methods.

Well step inside for 3 hours of stuff as Eli shifts through the gears for you. Please note I will be away next week sitting a test (14th September 2023) so the wonderful Aneeka will be doing the Thursday 1-4 next week 💚
As always, the playlist of the show is here for your listening needs, should you wish.
Kia ora goregous creatures 💚 Today's show sees us open with a tribute to CAN's Damo Suzuki who passed this month. We then move through a plethora of new music from a wide range of genres. Although this show might be slightly more dance-forward as it is bRave week after all - grab a last minute ticket if they're still available!
Dub flavours are covered with new music from Devon Rexi, Nyquist, and an old favourite from Mala. New music from indie-darlings MGMT andVampire Weekend also features. We also sneak a few Thursday 1-4 favourties via La Caution and Cheb i Sabbah to keep all happy.
💚 Thank you all for listening beautiful creatures. Dive into a show littered with old favourites wedged between fresh new releases. Slightly less emphasis today on the electronic world of things - maybe we'll rectify that next week. 💚
Yesterday the Green party announced their Healthy Oceans Act where they have set out a target to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.
This will mean banning fishing, mining, and other harmful industries from a third of the oceans.
Rawan spoke to Ellie Hooper, Oceans campaigner at Green Peace Aotearoa about why this policy is important.
They talked about enforcement and consequences, the response from Seafood New Zealand and compared the Green’s Policy to Labour’s proposal last week to partially ban Bottom trawling from the Hauraki gulf.
That was Ellie Hooper from Green Peace Aotearoa talking about the Green party’s Healthy oceans act
Earlier this week, a number of leaders în the Green party’s Pasifika Greens group announced their resignation. The now former MPs, namely: Marie Laufiso, Alofa Aiono, and Vasemaca (vah-seh-mah-tha) Tavola released issued a joint letter saying that they felt culturally disempowered by the party’s treatment of former MP Darleen Tana, who they say was treated too harshly during while under investigation for allegations of migrant worker exploitation at her husband’s business.
The resigning MPs also said that they were not properly convened with or reached out to by Green Party leaders following the passing of late-MP Fa’anānā Efeso Collins, a prominent Pasifika member of the Greens and representative of the Pasifika community of Tamaki Makaurau.
For their weekly catch up, Oto spoke to Green party MP Ricardo Menendez-March about the resignation and statements made by the Pasifika Greens members.
They also had a chat about the government’s changes to child poverty reduction targets and the Green Party's open call to the government on behalf of renters.
