	Post-Flood volcanism on the Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
		Post-Flood volcanism on the Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
		New Zealand is located in the South Pacific Ocean 1600 km SE of Australia and comprises two large islands, the North Island and the South Island (Figure 1), and several smaller ones.
		In this case the absence of glaciers on Banks Peninsula could be explained by the volcanoes being isolated from the mainland and surrounded by warmer ocean waters during the Ice Age.

	BANKS PENINSULA - BANKS PENINSULA - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Banks Peninsula is situated in about the middle of the east coast of the South Island on the margin of the Canterbury Plains.
		Originally Banks Peninsula was an island, but it became tied to the Canterbury Plains at some late stage in geological history when the growing alluvial plain reached its base.
		The lower slopes of the peninsula are mantled with a yellow, wind-blown silt, called loess, which was blown by the norwesters during the most recent ice advances from the wide beds of rivers such as the Waimakariri.

	A Garden Tour with Christine Dann - Garden - Organic Pathways - Your Online Guide to Organics in Aotearoa New Zealand
		She is the author of Cottage Gardening in New Zealand, The Cottage Garden Cook Book and Perennial Gardening in New Zealand.
		When Christine and Martin started their Diamond Harbour garden nine years ago, they spent time improving the soil for the vegetable plots and the raspberries, but the flower garden was planted fast, and Christine says she learnt the hard way what she could get away with.
		Another plant which does well in her dry Banks Peninsula garden, where the rainfall is 55 millimetres lower than neighbouring Christchurch, is the Hebe, a plant she says is under-rated in New Zealand while being sought after in Europe.

	Student Research, Marine Science, Otago University , New Zealand
		Abundance estimates were derived for sperm whales at Kaikoura, bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, Hector's dolphins in Banks Peninsula and New Zealand sea lions on Otago Peninsula.
		The most recent estimates are as follows: 58 resident sperm whales at Kaikoura (cv=0.09), 49 adult bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound (CV=0.02), 843 Hector's dolphins around Banks Peninsula (cv=0.17), and 46 adult New Zealand sea lions on Otago Peninsula (cv=0.09).
		The low CV values are due to a number of factors such as high average capture probabilities (ranging from 0.33 for resident sperm whales to 0.98 for bottlenose dolphins) and long-term studies in every case (ranging from 9 sampling periods for New Zealand sea lions to 21 sampling periods for sperm whales).

		Good health may be defined as life in balance or harmony, however this is not a universal experience, there is a great deal of ill health and suffering caused by poverty, malnutrition, greed, injustice, pollution and stresses which wreck havoc on our human biology and ecosystem on which we are totally dependent.
		A new threat to our biology are the genetically modified or irradiated foods.
		This is a new science of which the consequences to our health and survival are largely unknown and it may take a thousand years for a risk assessment to be completed, yet these are being forced upon us.

		Hector's dolphin is endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where it is threatened by fisheries bycatch, pollutants and boat disturbance.
		WWF-New Zealand advocates increased protection of the dolphin through government fisheries and conservation decisions, and supports a community and schools awareness programme (currently for Maui's; a South Island programme is in development).

		Protesters shouting "Stop the killing" heckled pro-whaling Japan's ambassador to New Zealand on Thursday as he took part in a government-hosted whale watching excursion, media reports said.
		A bus carrying the diplomats and their host, Conservation Minister Chris Carter, was met by 10 fl-clad anti-whaling protesters carrying harpoon-shaped sticks, Radio New Zealand and Television New Zealand reported.
		According to researchers studying this bizarre phenomenon, the gulls gouge through the skin of the whales’ backs to feed on skin and blubber, causing lesions along their spines and affecting whale behaviour.
