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.

The most common sources of nitrogen include leaching and run-off from agriculture and horticulture or from
industrial or wastewater discharges.
Ammonia (toxicity)
Ammoniacal nitrogen (NH4-N), also called ‘ammonium’, is the concentration of nitrogen present as either
ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4) in water. The balance between ammonia and ammonium depends on
the pH and temperature of the water. Ammoniacal forms of nitrogen enter waterways such as lakes

This RPTP intends to start the transformation of public transport into a modern, environmentally conscious,
integrated, accessible, and customer-focussed service which becomes the mode of choice for a range of
utility and leisure travel, whether people have a car or not. Transformation starts by understanding the
current strengths and weaknesses of the system, and making better use of available short-term investment.
In the medium to longer term, the aim is
ensuring that the natural coastal environment remains capable of supporting marine life,
retains its natural character and is able to meet the needs of future generations.
Many activities take place in the coastal marine area of Taranaki. These range from
major ventures such as petroleum exploration, and the continuing development of Port

building sand castles against the incoming tide. The Taranaki coastline

New Zealand’s freshwater environs are home to 50 known native fish species (Dunn et al., 2018) with 20 native
species currently known to inhabit Taranaki’s freshwaters for all, or part, of their life stages. Native fish play a
crucial role in the functioning of a healthy ecosystem: transporting nutrients within, and between, freshwater
and marine environs, and providing a source of food for a range of native birds. Many native species are
