Talk:Doubtful Sound / Patea

message: From the text:
:"The difference in the refractive index between these two layers makes it difficult for light to penetrate. Thus, many deep-sea species will grow in the comparatively shallow depths of the Sound."
This claim sounds dubious. It does not cite a reference, and conflicts with material in reference 6 , which makes note of the fact that:
: "A layer of fresh-water runoff, stained brown with tannins from the forest, sits above the sea water in Doubtful Sound. After heavy rain, the layer can extend to a depth of 9m, acting as a sun block, cutting down light penetration and allowing deepwater organisms such as Gorgonian fans and black coral trees (some 200 years old) to live in shallow conditions. That fresh-water layer increased after the construction of the first tailrace for Manapouri Power Station in the 1960s." 
This seems a much more plausible explanation for low light levels, and is relevant in issues about freshwater discharge from the Power Station.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The text read: "Today these form a unique cluster of the only Spanish names on the map of New Zealand: Febrero Point, Bauza Island and the Nee Islets, Pendulo Reach, and Malaspina Reach." I think the people of Miramar, Portobello (indirectly), and anyone passing Perano Head might complain about this statement. I've changed it to "...a unique cluster containing most of the Spanish names...". Grutness...wha? 07:17, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
