One thought on “442 seabed mining submissions from Raglan”

  1. But of that 442 only a small proportion has so far confirmed that they want to be heard. EPA has set Monday as a deadline, though they would probably have to accept confirmations after that. If each submitter took 10 minutes to explain their concerns, it’d take 3 months to hear us, which would take the hearings beyond the time limit allowed by the RMA.
