Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He aha i hoko ai i tētahi kaipuke ika, mēnā ka taea e koe te hanga i tētahi mai i ngā taonga o te whare? Kua raru nga kaitiaki takutai o Auckland i muri i te whiwhinga o te whakatūpato e tata ana ki te 5 nga'poti' hanga-a-whare e whai wāhi ana ki te kaupapa hī ika ā-tau i te Ratapu. I roto i ngā tāngata i tae atu, he kōpae i herea ki te puranga o ngā taera me tētahi motokā Subaru e rere ana. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I riro i nga kaitiaki takutai o Auckland he karanga rereke mo te whakataetae poti hanga-a-whare i kite i te Subaru e haere ana ki te wai. I kitea hoki i roto i te whakataetae he kōpae i herea ki ētahi taera, ā, i toia e tētahi kaipuke. I haere nga kaitiaki takutai ki te wai e tata ana ki Gulf Harbour, i waho o te Whangaparaoa Peninsula o Auckland i muri i te whiwhinga o te karanga mo te kaupapa mai i tetahi mema o te iwi. Kotahi te kaipuke i huri i waho noa o te tauranga, e toru nga tangata i whai i tetahi waahanga o te papa, engari kaore tetahi i whara. I āwhina te rōpū whakaora tūao, Hibiscus Rescue me North Shore Rescue i ngā kaihao ika i te mea i kitea he haurangi i te wā o te kaupapa. I haere a Hibiscus Coastguard ki to ratou Facebook ki te tuku i to ratou miharo ki nga kaipuke ahurei. 'I tino harikoa ēnei tāne me ngā kōtiro i te rā nei!' 'He mea nui te kite i te katoa e mau ana i nga koti ora! Kāore i te tino mōhio ko wai te toa o te whakataetae hī ika?' I tukuna hoki e te kaitiaki takutai tetahi riipene ataata e whakaatu ana i nga tangata tokorua i runga i te poti poauau e kawea ana ki te takutai. I āwhina te Hibiscus Rescue me te North Shore Rescue i ngā kaihao ika i te mea e āhua ana he haurangi te haurangi. Kotahi te kaipuke i huri ki waho o te tauranga, engari i tua atu i te mea he iti noa te wai, kaore he tangata i whara. Ka rangona ngā tangata e karanga ana 'ko te haumaru te mea tuatahi, ko te haumaru te mea tuatahi,' i mua i te maka o tētahi ipu pia ki tētahi atu ipu. E ai ki te New Zealand Herald, kua maha nga tau e tupu ana te kaupapa, a, ko te kaupapa kia horahia te pai ki roto i te hapori. I kī tētahi kaihautū i tono kia kaua e whakaingoatia ko te haumaru te mea nui rawa, ā, i aroturukihia ngā hau kaha i Army Bay. 'Ko te mea katoa e pā ana ki te iwi hanga poti. Kua pau i ēnei tāngata te tau e whakahoutia ana ngā poti, ā, he maha ngā urupare pai...
I riro i nga kaitiaki takutai o Auckland he karanga rereke mo te whakataetae poti hanga-a-whare. E 15 ngā 'poaka' i puta i te whakataetae, tae atu ki tētahi waka Subaru e rere ana, me tētahi moenga i runga i ngā taiaho. Kotahi te kaipuke i huri ki waho o te tauranga, engari kaore he tangata i whara. I whakapuakihia e ngā Kaitiaki Moana o Hibiscus tō rātou harikoa ki te katoa e mau ana i ngā kākahu whakaora.
