Thomas Greve/Supplied The Waiheke community was mobilised on Monday morning by calls to protect the kororā. Emily Māia Weiss (Ngāti Pāoa) is one of the occupiers who has been at Kennedy Point full-time for more than a month. When workers arrived by boat on Monday morning, kayakers paddled out in Pūtiki Bay to get between the barge and the breakwater, while between 30 and 40 people gathered on the rocks “talking, having our breakfast”. “It felt like the first time they had seen the power of the people who will come to protect the penguins,” she said.
