Guardians of the Bays
Guardians of the Bays is a broad-based residents’ group opposed to the proposal to extend the runway at Wellington International Airport (WIAL). We do not believe that the extension will achieve the level of benefits needed to warrant the extensive investment required. We do believe that the social, cultural and environmental costs the extension would impose on Wellington residents and the South Coast and its users are too high.

Air Turbulence
- Guardians of the Bays
- Air turbulence has been increasingly in the news recently as the world’s skies get bumpier. It’s very ironic that flying, with aviation emissions and contra air trails, increases climate change which in turn makes clear air turbulence more common. Wearing a seatbelt is one way of not being injured when dramatic air turbulence occurs. However,Continue reading "Air Turbulence"
