Auckland Regional Council Plant list


supasi

Recommended Posts

I was browsing a thread in the reptiles area about the blue tounge status in Auckland, and came across the link to the Auckland regional Council site.

I then immediatley searched the Aquatic Plants list ,(which I've attached the link below)

I notice that there is several common aquarium plants that are on the list, ie Sag Subulata.

Does this mean when I sell this to someone in Auckland, I am doing so illegally? :o

Or is it just if found outside of a contained aquarium?

Look at that PDF file and it states Total control on all Sagiterria Species, yet Only surveillance on water Hyacinth.

??????????????????????????

Im confused. you get away with selling Dwarf sag, yet the authorities pounce on those that try to sell Hyacinth.

Can someone in the know please try and explain this for me.

Whatever the Regional Council declares is over ridden by national declarations anyway. Water hyacinth is a nationally declared unwanted organism so it can't get any worse than that anyway. A region can make policy on things which may be a problem in that region but not nationally. They are probably worried about Sag getting in to some of the lakes and waterways up that way. They may even be there already.
