2021 CELEBRATING OUR WATERBASED LIFESTYLE
TRAINING OVER LABOUR WEEKEND.
Lifeguards ready for summer start at Riversdale Riversdale Beach’s surf lifeguards will be back in action this summer, with a great new intake training to be lifeguards for the upcoming summer.
Watch out for rips!
Weekend patrols will start on Saturday 4th December from noon to 5.00pm.
Rips are a major reason for rescues and anyone who gets caught in a rip should remember and practise the 3Rs to give them the best chance of getting to safety.
The club will patrol Christmas Day 25 December from noon to 5pm, then daily patrols until Sunday 31 January from 9.30am to 5.30pm at both North and South ends. The Nipper carnival is on Sunday 23 January. Weekend patrols will resume after this from noon to 5.00pm until 6 March when the club closes down until Easter when it will do the last patrols for the season from noon to 5.00pm. Information on Nippers can be found on the web at www.riversdalesurf.org.nz then click on nippers.
Relax and ˜ oat to conserve your energy. Raise your hand to signal for help. Ride the rip until you can swim safely back to shore or help arrives. This year’s message is to “Save the Males” as research shows 89% of drownings are males. Don’t take the environment for granted, get ÿ t, read the waves. Dwayne Johnson “The Rock” is to spearhead this #SaveTheMales.

WATER SCENE 2021
2021 CELEBRATING OUR WATERBASED LIFESTYLE IN WAIRARAPA
Enjoy the sun safely Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand. Along with Australia, we have the highest melanoma rates in the world. The cause of over 90% of skin cancer is too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. You can take steps to protect yourself, your wh˙nau and your community from harmful UV radiation.
Shade
Slip into shade where possible. This is the best way to protect yourself. Shade can be provided by buildings, trees, or shade structures such as marquees.
Protective clothing
Slip on some sun protective clothing, such as: A shirt with a collar and long sleeves and trousers or long-legged shorts. A darker, close weave material oˆ ers the best protection. Some clothing will have an Ultraviolet Protective Factor (UPF) on the label. We recommend clothing that complies with the AS/NZS 4399:2017 standard.
Slop on broad-spectrum, waterresistant sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30, and has the AS/ NZ 2604 standard on the label. Try not to rely on sunscreen alone.
Next January the Castlepoint Fishing Club celebrates 27 years of its annual ÿ shing competition. Taking place on Friday 7and Saturday 8 January, this family-friendly event has something for everyone.
Sunscreen protection depends on the correct application. Make sure you: Apply 20 minutes before you go outdoors. Reapply every two hours or more often if you are swimming or sweating it oˆ . Make sure the kids apply their sunscreen correctly. Check expiry dates on your sunscreen. Make sure you store it in a cool place (below 30°C).
Hats
Slap on a hat that protects your face, head, neck and ears. Broad-brimmed, bucket or legionnaire hats are best. We don’t recommend caps. We recommend hats that comply with the AS/NZS 4399:2017 standard.
Sunglasses
Wrap on some close-ÿ tting sunglasses. Make sure they meet the Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS 1067:2016).
cash prizes for ÿ rst, second and third place for the other ÿ sh species and a huge number of spot prizes and ra˛ es to be won. Something for everyone!

We have 4 repeaters covering the coast from Cape Turnagain in the North, to Palliser Bay in the South. Channel 4 and 7 covers Palliser Bay and the South Eastern coast up to Honeycomb Rock. Channel 61 covers Riversdale to Castlepoint area, it overlaps channel 03 and 04. Channel 3 covers the Castlepoint area up to Cape Turnagain. There is no Coastguard in Wairarapa and the CPMRA and their members support the NZ Police in Marine Search and Rescue. In case of a genuine emergency, Channel 16 is the national emergency frequency, and for Mayday calls this should be used ÿ rst by the vessel operator. Channel 16 calls link directly with Maritime Radio and the National Rescue Co-Ordination Centre, and will be the fastest way to get action through to the Police. Any vessel unable to get a call through to channel 16 should immediately go back to local channels which are routinely
monitored by the Wairarapa commercial ÿ shing ° eet. For non-life threatening problems such as break downs and minor medical incidents local assistance can be sought through the local channels, however it is still recommended that vessel operators log a call on channel 16 in case the situation deteriorates quickly. Membership to the CPMRA consists of persons involved
The lower North Island’s most popular ÿ shing competition the Ngawi Big 3 - takes place on Wairarapa’s wild southern coast from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 February inclusive. Daily prizes are given out for the top ÿ sh in each of the species in the open, junior and toddler sections with $1000 cash for the top ÿ sh of each of the 10 species overall. $500 cash is also awarded to the top angler in both the ÿ ve metre and under and the over ÿ ve metre boat sections.
which this year includes a Ngawi Big 3 T Shirt. For those family members whose partner/spouse/parent/ grandparent is registered for the Ngawi Big 3 and who don’t or can’t go out on the boats, there is a land-based section for these members only. Entry fee is $10 per angler. All entrants must be a˝ liated to a Boat Fishing Club and proof must be presented at the time of registration. Brieÿ ng takes place in the marquee on Thursday 20 at 8pm. Skippers may have their boats scrutinised from 3pm so they are all ready to get on the

We are a non-proÿ t organisation and rely on yearly subscriptions to help upgrade and maintain our repeater sites. Recently we relocated channel 03 and 07, and have upgraded our equipment to channels 03, 04 and 07. We are working towards a review of channel 61 in the current year.
Weighing is from 2-6pm on Friday and Saturday, and 1-3pm on Sunday. Tournament coordinator Donna Fenwick would like to thank the wonderful sponsors “as without their support, our tournament would not be the success it is”.

Explaining the lingo of the QMS The New Zealand ÿ sheries management regime is both complex and teeming with acronyms. However, unravelling this complexity and coming to terms with the language, to discover how the detailed relationship between science and policy underpins ÿ sheries management decisions, is worth the e° ort.
Total Allowable Catch (TAC) The TAC is the total catch (expressed in tonnes) that can be sustainably harvested from a ÿ sh stock. It includes allowances for customary, recreational, commercial, and other sources of ÿ shing related mortalities. TACs are adjusted on results from ÿ sheries science and advice from ÿ sheries managers.
Quota Management Total System (QMS) Allowable A name given to the New Zealand ÿ sheries management regime, established in 1986. The Commercial QMS is a system wherein the allocation of rights to catch ÿ sh Catch (TACC) and shellÿ sh are made within sustainable limits. Most ÿ sh and shellÿ sh stocks in New Zealand are managed under the QMS.
A TACC is the total sustainable limit of catch (expressed in tonnes) imposed on commercial removals from a ÿ sh stock. TACCs are adjusted on results from ÿ sheries science and advice from ÿ sheries managers.
Quota Management Annual Catch Area (QMA) Each ÿ sh stock has a QMA based Entitlement (ACE) on administrative and biological factors for the species. Using QMAs allows ÿ ner spatial scale management of the individual ÿ sh stocks.
2021
ACE is a tradable right that enables commercial ÿ shing and limits the catches able to be taken by individual permit
holders in any one season. The amount of quota shares owned determines the amount of ACE that is generated. ACE is allocated at the start of each ÿ shing year.
Licensed Fish Receivers (LFRS) Commercial ÿ shers must land their catches to LFRs (other than making wharf sales in compliance with regulations). LFRs process ÿ sh for sale to domestic and export markets.

CELEBRATING OUR WATERBASED LIFESTYLE IN WAIRARAPA
A CRAMAC is a regional commercial stakeholder organisation and management advisory committee for the lobster ÿ shery. CRA is the acronym used for lobster in the QMS. There are nine CRA management areas across New Zealand and each has its own TAC and TACC. The CRA 4 Management area extends from Northern Hawke’s Bay through Wairarapa and around the Wellington coast. CRAMAC 4 is the commercial stakeholder organisation associated with CRA 4 with membership extending across quota share and ACE owners, vessel skippers, LFRs and exporters.

SUMMER’S ON THE WAY! … AND SO ARE WATER RESTRICTIONS Summer means sun but it also means watering restrictions are very likely to be part of gardeners’ lives over the next few months. Masterton District Council’s water restrictions are tied to the flow in the Waingawa River, the source of Masterton’s drinking water. Maintaining the health of the Waingawa River is a priority for the council. Gardeners can prepare for dry spells by: ylaying mulch, to reduce water loss through evaporation ykeeping weeds to a minimum to reduce competition for water yplanning ways to collect rainwater for use in the garden. We’ll let you know when we have to introduce restrictions – keep an eye on our website (www.mstn.govt.nz) and our billboards around town - and an ear on your radios.
We know that restrictions can sometimes change quickly – because we want to give gardeners the benefit of higher river flows when we can – but the website and council social media will always be up-to-date. To make water restrictions as clear as possible, Masterton residents can check current water restrictions on three roadside signs around town (on Chapel St near the fire station, on Dixon St near Kuripuni, and at the entrance to the transfer station). You can also receive notifications of changes to water restrictions by downloading the Antenno app (free on Google Play and the Apple App Store). Website and social media sites will be “one-stop shops” for the latest information on water. If we all go with the flow, the river and gardens will all stay healthy.
Get updates the moment they change. Download Antenno for free from your app store.
