Freshwater macroinvertebrates are a range of aquatic species that have a crucial role in freshwater ecology
and that respond to changes in water quality or hydrological patterns or habitat. While a grab sample of
water collected from the waterbody will reveal water chemistry at the time of sampling, and thus give an
indication of contemporaneous pressures on the ecology of the

Chew-Track-Cards (CTCs) or Chew Cards are a fantastic way to detect predator
presence in these parts. Make a chew card and take it back with you...you can set it up
and see who’s lurking around!
Step 1: Cut out a piece of 3mm thick corflute 9 cm x 18 cm,
with the inner channels / flutes all 9 cm long
Step 2: Prepare a bowl of bait. This could be smooth peanut
butter with a little vegetable oil. Add honey (1 honey : 5 PnB)
to make the bait extra yummy

heaviest and longest fertiliser use). Figure 1 illustrates the location of monitoring sites
sampled as part of the 2015 survey.
Where possible, groundwater samples were collected with either a peristaltic or bladder
pump, using low flow sampling methodologies. Where no direct access to a well was
possible, samples were obtained via a tap or hose at surface.

the Resource Management Act requires local authorities to undertake
monitoring of the region’s environment, including land, air, and fresh and marine water
quality. The Taranaki Regional Council initiated the freshwater biological component of the
State of Environment Monitoring (SEM) programme for Taranaki in the 1995-96 monitoring
year. The macroinvertebrate component was separated from the microfloral component in
the 2002-03 year. The latter programme was broadened to incorporate

erosion of the weaker matrix leaves the harder cobbles and boulders to form large
platform reefs. These reefs are typically low in relief but can be considerable in extent
e.g. reefs off the Waitara coastline extend as far as 5 km offshore (TRC, 1991).
Taranaki reefs are exposed to high energy wave and wind conditions. Prevailing south
westerly winds from the Tasman Sea, not weakened by land barriers or local
irregularities of the coastline, can be persistent. The dominant wave direction is

hearings held under the RMA and how many times Māori commissioners were used and
whether they were from or had good knowledge of the Taranaki area.
