09:20 Fish stock decline worse than feared
A two decade worldwide project to assess the true catch of the fishing industry shows a massive decline in fish stocks which is far worse than official figures show - including in New Zealand waters.
Dr Daniel Pauly of the University of British Columbia is the leader of the Sea Around us Project, a two decade worldwide reconstruction of fisheries catches, to estimate the true state of fish stocks around the world. In a paper published recently in the journal Nature he says global fisheries catches hit a peak of 130 million tonnes a year in 1996, and they have been declining strongly since then, which is substantially higher than the data collected by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which report that catches reached 86 million tonnes in 1996 and have fallen only slightly.
09:30 The business case for medicinal cannabis
A new study by Sydney University's Business School estimates that a medical cannabis industry in Australia could earn the country more than a hundred million dollars a year.

Michael Katz of the University of Sydney business school says the white paper is the first of its kind to examine the financial as well as the potential medicinal benefits of a local medicinal cannabis industry for Australia.

Painting for a Purpose
BODY:
Art and activism merge to create large-scale breath-taking murals around environmental issues that affect the oceans.
EXTENDED BODY:
When you have an important message that needs to be shared, what better way to make an impact than painting it on the streets?
That’s the approach taken by US-based former investigative journalist and founder of the Pangeaseed Foundation, Tré Packard.
The organisation was established almost eight years ago as a means to generate awareness about ocean and environmental issues, giving voice to depleting and unprotected marine species and natural habitat.
"I was living in Tokyo investigating the illegal wildlife trade throughout Asia focusing mainly on marine life. Seeing animals destroyed on that level was extremely disheartening, but it’s important to get the reality of what’s happening to these animals out there and to give people hope, because if you don’t then we don’t really stand a chance."
Part of the function of Pangeaseed is outreach though education and events. Working with renowned contemporary artists from around the world is a key factor to disseminate an important message through what Packard refers to as Artivism.
"Art is such an incredible communicator [because] its subjective and can transcend borders and races... We held our first art exhibition in Asia in 2009 and later began taking art on to the street. When we painted our first mural in Sri Lanka, the light bulb went off."
Packard's passion drives the project. He knows that he can't change the world overnight, but says the flow-on effect of the current situation in the oceans have implications that will impact us all down the track.
"The United Nations estimates that we’re going to have no more fish in the ocean by 2050, so you can imagine once we have an empty ocean and [with] a grossly overpopulated planet [which] will only increase, people will [be left] fighting for resources and everyone needs water, food and shelter. It's going to get pretty intense if governments don’t start working together and corporations don’t become more sustainable."
Starting the Seawalls for Oceans project and running street art festivals where artists take on ocean issues has proven successful.
Award-winning New Zealand artist Cinzah Merkens was involved in the Seawalls project in Mexico two years ago and the decision was made to bring it to his hometown, Napier.
“It’s a really tight-knit community and people [are supportive] when they see that we’re all working for free and donating our time.”
Merkens is passionate about the project and stands firmly behind the cause, despite the gruelling days and blood sweat,and tears that go in to painting large scale murals over a five-day period.
“You forget to eat and drink, you’re in the elements working for 15,17 hour days non-stop, climbing up and down ladders…it takes its toll on you.”
The Napier artist collaborated with Canadian-based Jason Botkin to complete a work focussing on the Long Fin Eel, a species currently under threat by man's impact on their migratory trails. The long fin eel lives from 70, 100 years of age and only breeds once in its lifetime.
To donate to Pangeaseed or to find out more, head to the Pangeaseed Foundation website.

Grape harvesting’s in full swing in North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley. At the Muddy Water winery, that’s nestled in the lee of the Teviotdale Hills, tonnes of freshly picked chardonnay and pinot noir grapes are sorted and de-stemmed by seasonal workers at the back of the building. Inside, dozens of two metre high fermenting vats are full to the brim with grapes in the first stage of the wine making process, while next door the last of the 2015 vintage is being bottled and boxed.

Chris Lethbridge is hunting for work because his dairy farm is in receivership and he needs to leave by the end of June. He's worked in the dairy industry for thirty years, but says now his three million dollar farm near Whangarei is only worth two million, and he's been forced out. He thought the farm purchase nine years ago was sensible, but severe droughts and now the milk payout drop, have been too much to manage.
His billboard is on the side of the road at Warkworth and he says a few offers of work have come in, but he now thinks he'll become a tourist bus driver, "because it's dealing with happy people".

EXTENDED BODY:
Rural GP and farmer Tim Malloy was crushed by a quad bike in January as he was moving stock on his hill country property near Puhoi north of Auckland. Travelling at 1 kilometre an hour, he tipped slowly over the edge of a ditch, did a forward roll into it and watched as the bike tumbled on top of him. Dr Malloy sustained 15 fractures to his ribs, a collapsed lung, burns to his abdomen and nerve damage to his leg.
After spending two weeks in intensive care and another in a ward and weeks at home recovering and thinking about his accident, Dr Malloy is calling for evidence-based research to identify how four-wheelers can be modified to make them safe to use in New Zealand conditions.

Bulls Donate for Hair Care Range
BODY:
There's a new shampoo and hair conditioning range on the market, it contains BSP - Bovine Seminal Plasma.
EXTENDED BODY:
The teaser steer is tied up.
In the next pen a bull is snorting and bellowing and looking rather agitated.
A collection is about to be taken from him. However it won't be used to inseminate a cow but rather some of it will end up in a rather expensive bottle of shampoo.
The Natural Protein Company has launched a range of hair care products with bovine seminal plasma (BSP) as a key ingredient.
Dr Vish Vishwanath is the Natural Protein Company's technical director. He is a reproductive scientist who has spent his career working with bull semen.
"If somebody thinks they are putting bull sperm on their head, that's not true," he says with a laugh. "We don't actually put bull sperm on their head. We take it out."
Once a collection is taken from a bull, the semen is put in a centrifuge to remove the sperm. The remaining liquid is called seminal plasma. It is then purified and the bio-protein extracted.
Dr Vishwanath says the protein has natural qualities that are anti-bacterial, nourishing to help keep sperm alive and work to protect the tail of the sperm.
Those attributes also benefit hair, he says.
Independent tests conducted at a Crown Research Institute show the protein increases the tensile strength of chemically damaged hair.
"There is real good science behind it. It's not just a feel good factor or some kind of mumbo jumbo behind it" Dr Vishwanath says.
He says about 10-15 percent of non-treated hair will break under normal circumstances. "But when you treat hair, that is when you colour hair, because of the fact you use bleach and various other chemicals it reduces the strength of the hair... and it increases the breakage ..but when you go back and treat it with this particular protein it almost comes back to what we call virgin hair or normal hair that hasn't been treated."
Natural Protein's managing director Lynne Webster is also a bull farmer. She says the Imprivo product range is trademarked into Japan and she sees it having a place in top-end salons in the United Kingdom, the United States and Hong Kong.
She says some customers are seeking products with total traceability through DNA testing and that is something the Natural Protein Company is considering.
Ms Webster says once the hair care range has found its feet the company will look at putting the bulls to work to help with the production of cosmetics.

EXTENDED BODY:
The grape vintage is in full swing in North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley.
Tonnes of grapes are being harvested and de-stemmed by seasonal workers in preparation for the winemaking process. Nik Mavromatis, sales and marketing director at Muddy Water in Omihi says “There’s no sleep until the end of vintage… for about six weeks it’s mental!’
Inside the Muddy Water winery, dozens of two metre high fermenting vats are full to the brim with grapes in the first stage of the wine making process, while next door the last of the 2015 vintage is being bottled and boxed.
Neighbouring vineyards also use Muddy Water’s facilities to process grapes and make their wines. Tongue in Groove winemaker Lynnette Hudson is there every day during vintage. Her main focus is on Pinot Noir and Riesling but she also makes Chardonnay and Orange wine at the winery.
“Today I’m pumping over Pinot, plunging while it’s fermenting, topping barrels, keeping on top of all our other wines, tasting and making sure everything’s looking good" she says.
Despite some showers this week, Botrytis bunch rot has had little impact on fruit health at Muddy Water, a certified organic vineyard with 20-year-old vines.
“To minimise the impact of Botrytis, every fourth row has been planted with Buckwheat and Phacelia that have flowers that help bring a little parasitic wasp, which destroys caterpillars and the caterpillars are one of the vectors for transmitting the virus” Nik Mavromatis says.
The vintage at Muddy Water is yielding about four tonnes of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes a hectare. Riesling and Pinotage varieties are also grown on their fertile limestone-washed soils with a total wine output expected to be about 4500 cases.
