Fish IT has some exciting news in that it is now able to offer a collection service for empty Fish IT ICBs from areas within Southland. The areas currently covered are in a line covering Milton – Raes Junction – Waikaia – Five Rivers – Te Anau – Tuatapere and south of this line.

George Jones will be running this service on our behalf and if you require empty Fish IT ICBs to be collected then please text him your name, how many ICBs  that need collected and a pickup address, phone number or email. George’s phone number is: 027 220 6670
We do have a few conditions before ICBs can be collected:

• Only Fish IT Ltd ICBs are able to be collected
• There should be no damage to the cage or plastic pod
• Ensure, if possible that the green lid and valve bung cap are present. 

The photo below illustrates an empty ICB that unfortunately cannot be collected due to damage.

We hope that you avail of this service.
Please remember to contact George Jones directly if you require any empty Fish IT ICBs to be collected.

Years spent in the Middle East have made me “hyper-aware” of the importance of water.

Often in the discussion about water we can focus on streams and aquatic life, but this can overlook a fundamental point – humans need water to survive and our health and life itself is at stake in the discussion..

When we talk about water we need to remember that it is ultimately the quality of our lives that is at stake.

It’s important not to be too casual about the way we use and abuse our water resources – something that is easy in New Zealand with our apparent abundance of water and continual focus on our “clean, green” image.

As a country we have an urgent need to turn the image into a reality before it is too late.

Unfortunately we are now at a point where there is no quick fix to our water quality issues as we begin to address the legacy impact of our farming system choices.

The farming sector needs to make a start now or we risk having draconian solutions imposed on us.
