Lake SPI surveying in the Taranaki Region
In 2021, Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) engaged NIWA to survey three lakes (Lakes Kaikura, Mangawhio,
and Rotokare;) using LakeSPI (Table 3, Figure 1). These lakes were the first in the region to

Monitoring data and available information has improved since the initial targets were identified, and as such
these regional targets will be able to be revised as Council sets target attribute states in relation to human
contact attributes. Spatial water quality models have been utilized to assess current baseline state in
points along the reach (four locations across five
transects if possible).
Baseline states for sediment
The NPS-FM requires all regional councils to identify baseline states for all attributes described in Appendix
2A and 2B of the NPS-FM within each Freshwater Management Unit (FMU). When compared against
national bottom lines and the relevant objectives for an FMU, baselines provide the reference point from
which councils must either maintain or improve an attribute, which

Prior to 2022, lake monitoring undertaken by the Taranaki Regional Council largely focused on a single lake,
Lake Rotorangi. Lake Rotorangi is an artificial lake used for hydroelectric generation and monitoring has
been undertaken primarily for the purpose of compliance with resource consents associated with the
hydroscheme. Monitoring began in 1988 and included both water quality and biological monitoring.
Presently, water quality surveys are conducted

Quantitative Macroinvertebrate Community Index (QMCI/SQMCI)
The QMCI is the quantitative variant of the MCI, so also accounts for the relative abundance of taxa present
at a site. Note that while the NPS-FM requires QMCI as a numeric attribute state for macroinvertebrates,
Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) uses the semi-quantitative MCI value (SQMCI), which provides a similar
output and will be considered surrogate to QMCI in relation to the NPS-FM.
