space’ is a great Department of
Conservation education resource that provides top tips on how
to look for bugs and how to identify them. For more detailed
identification, add your invertebrate observations to iNaturalist NZ.
In addition to experts helping you identify the bug to species or
genus level, this website will also indicate if it’s endemic, native or
introduced and provide a permanent record of your observation.
Once you know what species are present you can assess how
(seafood), tauranga waka or awa waka
(boat channels, tauranga ika (fishing grounds) and mouri kohatu (stone imbued with spiritual significance). The importance of these areas and iwi’s role as kaitiaki (guardians) to protect
these areas and their associated values is as important to present day whanau (family) as it was to their tupuna (ancestors).
The cultural and spiritual importance of the coastline and the marine area continues to be embodied in waiata (song), pepeha (sayings) and
(the Council) adopted a water management plan for the river in September 1991.
During the 2018-2019 monitoring period a total of 21 consents were held by the 14 industries monitored
under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or leachate from the industrial area at
Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower
Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream catchments. The activities and impacts of the consent holders upon
water quality
seen during recent years (dissolved zinc was slightly higher than the
historical median but still an improvement on earlier years). No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
Biomonitoring results have also continued to indicate a slight improvement in water quality and ecological
conditions in the stream
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
primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or terrestrial;
contaminants, on or
relating to mass discharge rates
c) Best practicable option to prevent or minimise off
site environmental effects
d) Visual effects, loss of amenity value of air, chronic
or acute human or animal health effects, effects
on areas identified in Policy 2.3, energy efficiency
and ecological effects
e) Monitoring and reporting requirements
f) Review of the conditions of consent and the
timing or purpose of the review
g) Payment of administrative charges

copy of the Plan will be available on the Taranaki Regional Council website in
PDF format.
Controlled copies will be issued to the holder of each major function listed in Figure 3.
Where two or more such functions are carried out by the same person, only one controlled
copy of the Plan will be issued.
In this Annex a list of controlled copies of the Plan will be maintained. When the Plan is first
issued this section will contain a ‘Transfer Form’ and a ‘Change of Address Notification’
the monitoring period. Daily surface
water abstraction data was also assessed.
The monitoring indicated that the effects of the discharge of stormwater and process waters into the Kapuni
Stream were minimal. Inter-laboratory analysis indicated fairly good agreement between both parties.
Surface water abstraction was compliant for the whole monitoring period.
The review of the biological monitoring concluded that overall, the MCI scores for nearly all sites were
similar to or higher
