- Description
Shows a boat approaching an oil rig on which an extremely large fly has landed. The heading says that the 'risky organism clinging to the next big rig' is 'a bit bigger than a fruitfly' according to NIWA. However, a voice on the boat comments: "OK, but it's not your standard fruitfly!" Refers to a warning issued by Graeme Inglis, Niwa's principal scientist for marine biosecurity, who said that 'when the next big semi-submersible drilling rig arrives in New Zealand waters this summer, it could have up to 58,000 kilograms of living material clinging to its hulls.'
