Didymo is present in Lake Te Anau, Lake Manapouri and the Waiau River, but is not currently in the pristine Iris Burn River.
All visitors should take precautions to avoid transporting didymo when on the Kepler Track, including when swimming/fishing/boating/kayaking.
Do not take water from these areas, avoid filling water bottles, and avoid swimming in the rivers after swimming in the lakes.
