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.

The NPS-FM sets out requirements for councils and communities to maintain
organic nitrogen).
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
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
Taranaki, to simple activities such as swimming, walking along the foreshore or children
building sand castles against the incoming tide. The Taranaki coastline

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
processes.
Where applicable, this Statement of Intent describes the current state, and the future state – after
the restructure is complete.

Index of Biotic Integrity
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

This may lead to adverse effects on dissolved oxygen and pH levels, water clarity and biodiversity.
Nitrogen can be present in water in a number of forms (nitrate, nitrite, ammoniacal nitrogen and organic
nitrogen). In rivers and lakes, too much nitrogen can lead to excessive growth of aquatic plants or algae. At
high concentrations, ammonia and nitrate can be toxic for aquatic life.
Phosphorus can be present in water in different forms, and is an essential
