	SCS: New Zealand Sea Lion (Phocarctos hookeri)
		Although the New Zealand sea lion was extensively killed for its hide and oil in the 19th century and, to a much lesser extent, the early 20th century, commercial killing of the species has been illegal in New Zealand since 1893.
		The New Zealand Department of Conservation is developing a Population Management Plan for the species due to its status as a protected species at risk from fisheries.
		New Zealand sea lions are opportunistic feeders and the majority of their diet consists of cephalopods (such as squid and octopus), crabs, crayfish and many species of fish.

	Report to Department of Conservation by R. Leschen
		All collections have yet to be fullyexamined, are almost certain to yield new species, and will certainly extend the geographic range of many known species of fungi, their insect and bryophyte associates.
		A new species of rust was found on Dracophyllum longifolium on both Campbell and Auckland Islands; no rust fungus is known on Dracophyllum from mainland New Zealand.
		As on mainland New Zealand, the fallen leaves of Dracophyllum were a rich substrate for Rhytismataceae in the genera Lophodermium and Hypoderma.
