Hey Terra,

just in regards to the submission, I'm pretty sure that you've spelt damn wrong. It should be dam/damming. The way it is now gives a slightly different meaning. Also, I don't mind the use of strong language but you opening sentence is perhap overstating things a bit. Perhaps it would be better to state our concern and upmost disapproval of the dam rather than using word "disturbed" right at the beginning. Maybe use it later in the text but I feel the submission should convey our feelings regarding this issue with tack and diplomacy before issuing such an emotive statement. It risks the submission being dismissed offhand as not having depth of any understanding concerning this issue and making it about our own personal feelings rather the best/right options for New Zealand and its environment.

Regards

Bryan
