Thousands of mussels to be dropped into Auckland bay

Twenty-thousand tonnes of mussels are booked to be dropped into Ōkahu Bay, RNZ reports, as part of an ambitious Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei plan to replenish seabeds that have over the past century been severely depleted. It’s the third such massive drop to have taken place as part of the effort to, as it were, re-mussel 500 square kilometres.
