	Description:		Iwi volunteers are desperately working to save as many eels as they can from a dried-up lake bed on coastal Manawatu. The rescue operation at Pukepuke Lagoon began late last week, and since then an estimated 3,000 eels have since been moved into waterways elsewhere. Meanwhile, there's calls for an investigation into how this has happened. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham visited the lake.
