Prevent the spread of didymo

Didymo is present in Lake Te Anau and Eglinton River, but is not currently in the pristine Junction Burn or Doon River or Lake Hankinson.

All visitors should take precautions to avoid transporting didymo when on these waterways, including when swimming/fishing/boating/kayaking.

Do not take water from these areas and avoid filling water bottles.
