Closure means injured marine mammals to be put down
BODY:
Any injured marine mammals found in the wild are now likely to be put down after the final closure of Hawkes Bay's famed Marineland Park.
EXTENDED BODY:
The closure of Marineland in Napier has highlighted concerns there are no longer any facilities in New Zealand to rehabilitate injured or sick sea mammals such as fur seals so they can be returned to the wild.

Marineland opened in 1965 and was a Napier icon for decades.
It housed several species of native marine wildlife, including the common dolphin, the New Zealand fur seal, California sea lions and otters.
Marineland has been closed to the public since 2008, but continued to look after rescued sea mammals such as sea lions and seals.
The final three residents - New Zealand fur seals Mr Bojangles, Molly, and Pania - left Marineland last night and are on their way to Australia, making way for the demolition of the facility later this year.
Mr Bojangles and Molly were heading to Gold Coast Seaworld, and Pania was going to Melbourne Zoo.
A group that tried to save the marine park, The Friends of Marineland, said many people did not understand that Marineland was not just about seeing dolphins perform tricks.
Secretary of the group, Sue MacDonald, said the facility also took care of injured or sick marine mammals.
"The work that it did in rehabilitating other sea creatures and releasing them was legendary. People knew if they found a marine creature, Marineland would be able to look after it.
"It means now if any marine animal comes up on the beach it is more than likely to be either euthanised or left to die because there is no place that specialises in looking after these animals,"
Senior supervisor at Marineland, Regan Beckett, agreed that marine mammals such as fur seals found injured or sick in the wild will probably have to be put down or left to die following the closure of the park.
"It's sad that some species get all the tender loving care that's required: however, when it comes to marine mammals, for some reason, people believe that nature should take its course.
"I don't see any difference between that and a kiwi or pukeko or anything like that. I think its ludicrous," he said.
Mr Beckett said the closure of Marineland was a result of an edict from the Department of Conservation that there would be no indigenous marine mammals in captivity by 2015.
Napier mayor Bill Dalton said Marineland was an icon for Napier and it was sad to see it close.
The now derelict Marineland will be turned into a skate park later this year.

"But everything has its day, and the days of keeping very large marine mammals in a very restricted area is gone.
"So we've been able to find a home for these mammals in areas where they've got greater population, greater tourist numbers and therefore greater facilities and we're rapt to see them find a home like that," he said.
Mr Dalton said the council would begin work on turning the Marineland site on Marine Parade into a skate park and entertainment facility later this year.

A Festival Food Tour
BODY:
Another year of WOMAD has come and gone, and Amelia Nurse went along, not just for the music, but to find out what people eat at the World of Music and Dance in New Plymouth.
EXTENDED BODY:
Gallery: Out and about at WOMAD
There are three days of music, dance, art, socializing, relaxing, wondering about the stunning grounds at Brooklands Park in New Plymouth – and eating.
Whether you’ve bought your own food, or choose to indulge in the myriad cultural foods on offer at the venue, enjoying eating is integral to the WOMAD experience.
Amelia Nurse joins the feasting throngs, and talks to CEO Suzanne Porter to experience an array of festival food.
WOMAD 2015 statistics:
300 artists representing 22 countries across 4 stages
22 000 people in attendance.
Over 40 food stalls
See the WOMAD website for some recipes.
Visit Radio New Zealand's recipe collection
If you choose not to bring your own food to a music festival, you are at the mercy of what the assembled vendors have to offer – and it may not always work out as you wish.
Amelia Nurse asked a few folks at RNZ for their best and worst festival eats:
Lynda recommends the raw rock oysters and lemon juice (with a little smuggled-in bubbles!) at The Gathering Festival in Takaka – and also the blue cheese wood fired pizza with red wine at A Day on the Green. She does not however recommend cold, leftover chop-seuy at The Gathering.
Emma simply advises that bean sprouts are not an ideal festival food, noting that she speaks from experience.
Kate confesses that hash fudge at Glastonbury is the pinnacle of yummy for her, especially when sold by a beautiful Hari Krishna man. She adds that afterwards she listened to some kind of drumming event with women naked to the waist – best enjoyed with eyes closed, in the dark, lying under a gypsy caravan.
Justine says nothing beats a half watermelon scooped out and then filled with a mix of watermelon and vanilla ice cream on a hot summer’s day at Te Ra o te Raukura in Lower Hutt - though it does require rather a lot of napkins. At the same event however, the Spud Spiral Stick (intended as a hangover cure) tasted of pure fat – and not in a good way.
Gözleme is a Turkish flatbread which is hand-rolled, filled with various toppings and cooked on a griddle. Ruth reckons no festival is complete without gözleme.
Danielle liked the steamed/fried pork dumplings at WOMAD – crispy on the bottom and chewy on top with beautifully flavoured pork inside: hearty and filling. The soggy, cold, flavourless Thai noodles at the Vancouver Folk Festival did not earn equal esteem.
Meanwhile Daniela happily remembers the chicken curry at the Wellington Pasifika Festival as tastiest chicken dish she’s ever eaten – even though she was cowering from a deluge of rain under a concrete awning at the time.
Around the world
Michael Roffman, editor of the website Consequence of Sound, surveyed his staff of veteran festival-goers about memorable festival food. Here are some high – and low lights:
Alligator nuggets at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Michael Zonenashvili gives them a 5/10 saying “Not terribly tasty, but definitely a textural heaven. Also, it’s made of alligators.”
Michael Roffman reckons the Cajun Duck Po Boy at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival deserves a 7.5, best enjoyed “as a pre-headliner snack right as the Louisiana sun is cutting you some slack.”
At South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, Alex Young gives something called Coolhaus a 12/10, and describes it like this: “Two freshly baked cookies barely hold together a heaping amount of gourmet ice cream. Create your own (double chocolate cookie + peanut butter ice cream is heaven), or rely on the menu options. Either way, be sure to eat the paper, because it’s edible.”
Staying with ice cream for the moment, at the North Coast Music Festival in Chicago, Derek Staples recommends the Irish Whiskey infused soft ice cream waffle cones on a sliding scale - starting at 6, but approaching a 9 after a few cones, adding, “If you can’t handle a shot, stick to chocolate swirl.” Thanks Derek.
Finally, heading back to the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, Frank Mojica thinks Le Super Royal royally deserves 10/10: “Consisting of a jumbo sausage simmered in a white wine sauced served atop a bowl of sliced potatoes roasted in the creamiest of French cheeses and smoked bacon, Le Super Royal puts your typical festival food stand to shame.”
Bon appétit!
