(NOF);
avoid any further loss or degradation of wetland extents and to encourage their restoration;
improve fish abundance, diversity and passage;
monitor and report on freshwater quality and quantity; and
respond to any identified deterioration of freshwater (including ecosystems).
Key to implementing these requirements is ensuring that the values and concerns of the Taranaki
community, including tangata whenua, and stakeholders are considered and integrated into the response.
It’s
concentration of chlorophyll-a per square metre (a pigment that plants use
for photosynthesis). Periphyton is also measured visually so that it can be compared to guidelines for
ecological health or aesthetic values. Weighted composite cover measures the combined cover of some of
the less desirable forms of periphyton, such as long filaments and thick mats. Monitoring is carried out where
periphyton is likely to grow. This includes sites with rocky or sandy streambeds where periphyton can
Native Condition Index, an
Invasive Impact Index and an overall LakeSPI Index. A higher LakeSPI and Native Condition Index denotes
better lake ecological condition and higher Invasive Impact Index denotes poorer Lake Condition.
Theoretically, a pristine lake with diverse native submerged vegetation, unimpacted by human activities or
invasive species, would score a LakeSPI Index of 100%, a Native Condition Index of 100% and an Invasive
Impact Index of 0% (de Winton et al., 2022).

down the hillsides and then widen and begin to
meander as the topography of the land flattens
out. Across the FMU, much of the landscape is
sheltered in native or exotic forest, or utilised for
dry stock farming (Figure 2). The hill country area
is underlain by erodible geology such as papa,
silts and clays. The hills are prone to landslides
and the slower moving rivers regularly deposit
sediment and wood along their length. During

This matters because motor vehicles make a
significant contribution to Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emissions such as Carbon Dioxide
(CO2), which are driving climate change. There are also issues of traffic congestion
invasive species. Thus, they are capable of showing the impacts of stressors present
upstream in the catchment, such as habitat loss or pollution (NEMS, 2022). For example, when effluent is
discharged into a stream, intolerant organisms reduce in numbers or disappear, while those that are able to
tolerate such stresses increase in number.
