2007 Cockle Survey The NIWA report on the triennial cockle count held in November shows that the total cockle population is similar to that recorded in 2004. The report is an attractive document with new features and good use of colour and provides an accessible summary of the findings of three decades. Copies have been lodged with Porirua Library, and with the relevant officers of PICT, GW and PCC.
