It drains to the Kaituna River, which flows into the Bay of Plenty near Maketu. The full name of the lake is Te Rotoiti-kite-a-Īhenga, which in the Māori language means "The Small Lake Discovered By Īhenga", the Māori people, Māori explorer also credited with discovering Lake Rotorua. Legend says that the lake was named as such because when Ihenga first saw it, he was only able to see a small part of it and thought the lake was a lot smaller. Since the 1960s, the quality of lake water has been negatively affected by inflows of nitrogen rich water from Lake Rotorua, agricultural run-off from surrounding farms and seepage from domestic septic tanks. The effects of this included an almost permanent alga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lake-class Inshore Patrol Vessel
The Lake-class inshore patrol vessel (also known as the ''Rotoiti'' class and the Protector class) is a ship class of inshore patrol vessels (IPVs) of the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and the Irish Naval Service which replaced the RNZN's s in 2007–2008. All four vessels are named after New Zealand lakes. Following long-running Navy retention problems in the wake of NZDF "civilianisation", two of the four vessels were tied up, inactive, in a 'Reduced Activity Period' for long periods between 2013 and 2018. In June 2019 the New Zealand Government announced that two of the patrol vessels would be withdrawn from service, and they were decommissioned in October that year. Design and construction Conceived as part of Project Protector, the Ministry of Defence acquisition project to acquire one multi-role vessel, two offshore and four inshore patrol vessels.

Rotoitidae
The Rotoitidae are a very small family of rare, relictual parasitic wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea, known primarily from fossils (14 extinct species in two genera, '' Baeomorpha'' and '' Taimyromorpha'').Huber JT, Shih C, Dong R (2019) A new species of ''Baeomorpha'' (Hymenoptera, Rotoitidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 72: 1-10. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.72.35502 Only two extant species are known, each in its own genus, one from New Zealand and one from Chile, and little is known about their biology. Females of the Chilean species, '' Chiloe micropteron'', have their wings reduced to tiny bristles. Most fossil species are known from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Taimyr amber of Russia and Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Canadian amber, but one species, ''Baeomorpha liorum'' is known from the mid Creaceous (late Albian-earliest Cenomanian) Burmese amber. Rotoitids are very close to the base of the chalcidoid family tree, presently cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Pre–World War I The first recorded maritime combat activity in New Zealand occurred when Māori in war waka attacked Dutch explorer Abel Tasman off the northern tip of the South Island in December 1642.
