No Opening Goal for Cove

By John Freer

There is no timeframe or goal to get the closed Cathedral Cove tourist and visitor destination reopened to walkers.

This from the Department of Conservations Regional Director, Tinaka Mearns, who recently spoke with CFM.

Tinaka maintains that 100 percent of the walking track is at risk and DOC was dealing with complex issues.

Just days after the interview more than 20 people were seen on the cove beach, all of them having walked in as sea conditions prevented boats from landing.
