![]() Watercare environmental care manager Dr Nathaniel Wilson confirmed to AM on Thursday morning any beaches that have a green flag next to them on SafeSwim's website mean they are fine to swim in again. The collective patience of the community was acknowledged, along with the respect for observing the rāhui. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei held a karakia at Ōkahu Bay on Thursday morning, lifting the rāhui, meaning activities such as fishing and swimming can now resume. This resulted in millions of litres of sewage overflowing and pouring into the harbour. Large parts of the harbour were off limits for recreational activities after a main sewer line collapsed on 28 September creating a massive sinkhole. There's good news for Auckland beachgoers, with a rāhui being lifted from the Waitematā Harbour meaning it's safe to go swimming again.
