Condition 10 states that the structure shall be removed and the area
to filling the spatial gaps in coverage of freshwater
information between monitoring points, says NIWA
environmental modeller Dr Doug Booker.
NIWA has recently released a free app – NZ River Maps
(https://shiny.niwa.co.nz/nzrivermaps/) – that uses these
model predictions to show patterns across New Zealand’s
rivers in about 100 attributes covering hydrology, water
quality, fish distributions, invertebrate metrics, suspended
and deposited sediment and fish and bird habitat.

Predator-Free Taranaki
It’s important to determine what
predators are where before placing

made their own monitoring gear.
No shortage of rats, mice and
hedgehogs have been detected.
