Detailed Sighting Reports
Astonishment fills my pen as I commit to paper the most extraordinary development in our ongoing study of New Zealand's mermaid populations. My esteemed protégé and niece, Misty Tide, has made an observation that challenges long-held assumptions about the environmental fidelity of Mermaid-1006, commonly known as Mermaid Lily.
It is with great scientific enthusiasm that I document a most extraordinary event in the annals of merology—an historic sighting of the largest recorded aggregation of mermaids within New Zealand waters. The event in question transpired at dawn upon the serene waters of Erin Point Pools, Auckland, and shall remain, I am convinced, one of the most remarkable occurrences in my career.

On the 29th of March in the year 2023, coinciding with International Mermaid Day—a curious and fortuitous alignment
