biodiversity. If left uncontrolled, invasive pest fish, aquatic plants and algae can have a considerable impact
on the biodiversity and community health of freshwater systems. People often unintentionally spread
freshwater weeds by leaving fragments on recreational equipment. Aquatic weeds can displace native
freshwater species or generally disrupt the structure and functions of the ecosystem. The often deliberate
introduction of pest fish species may also impact

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) 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
and ‘At
Risk’ (F7.2a) LENZ environments.
Ecological context Medium Provides additional habitat and greater connectivity with other Key Native
Ecosystems in this area such as Tariki Bush KNE.
Sustainability Positive Key ecological processes still influence the site and with appropriate
management, it can remain resilient to existing or potential threats. The
site has the additional benefit of being formally protected.
