It's been a vision more than years in the making and now little spotted kiwi have returned to Nelson. The group of kiwi pukupuku from Kapiti Island have spent their first night settling into their new home at the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary. Sanctuary volunteer Erwin Oberhumer piloted one of the planes carrying the fluffy cargo from Paraparaumu to Nelson on Wednesday. He's spent the last eight years helping to track and trap pests and taking people on guided walks inside the sanctuary.

By Samantha Gee of RNZSnapper are being trialled in a new open ocean aquaculture farming system in Tasman Bay. It is the first time a new finfish species has been trialled off the New Zealand coastline, with Chinook salmon the only fish currently raised commercially in sea-based aquaculture. The prototype is the work of Nelson-based Plant & Food Research scientists, who have developed a mobile fish farm that’s based in the open ocean.

We may have been without sun for a week, but many in Te Tauihu are still being paid less than what they would be for the same job, elsewhere. I spoke to some of those surviving on the lowest average wages in the country, to hear what their lives are like. https://t.co/Qg8vimfiS7
In less than 10 years, the kākā population in our most popular national park has grown exponentially thanks to the hard work of a number of different organisations @NZMorningReport @radionz https://t.co/jMHsJaNj1c
I took @SBrettkelly on a tour around Nelson for @TheDetailNZ looking at some of the worst damaged parts of the region, three months after severe weather caused widespread damage to roads, homes and infrastructure
