Pick of the week: New habitats along the waterfront for kororā

With over 100-kilometres of coastline in Wellington, it’s no surprise that the city is home to so many kororā (little penguins). These special manu have established spots all over Pōneke, including in the rocks that contour the waterfront alongside Frank Kitts Park. In the past few weeks, Wellington City Council has been strengthening this structure, with the goal of future proofing the revetment. While this is being done, work is underway to also create safe homes for kororā to live. Read more on Our Wellington or find out what else is happening in the city in this week's newsletter
