this important habitat.
While Waitara High School students recorded the cover of
different reef habitats on the ground using quadrats and
transects, Ben Plummer from Drone Technologies NZ
mapped seagrass from the air, providing impressive spatial
coverage of the reef. The two methods combined
provide a powerful approach for monitoring seagrass.

FMU-based baseline states (expressed as percentages of stream lengths) for the macroinvertebrate numeric
attribute states are shown in Table 6. Maps of stream widths under each NOF band for all three numeric
attribute states are in Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11.
Table 6: FMU-based baseline states for the macroinvertebrate numeric attribute states (MCI,
held by the companies in the Lower Waiwhakaiho area;
• the nature of the monitoring programme in place for the period under review; and
• a description of the activities and operations conducted in the Companies’ site/catchment.
Each company’s activity is then discussed in a separate section (Sections 2 to 7).
In the subsections for each company (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the industrial activity
and its discharges, an aerial photograph or map showing the

the 37 marine farms span approximately 8.5 km (33%) of total shoreline
length at sea level (but more under water). Approximately 85% of the surface
area (2,000 ha) of Beatrix Bay is not occupied by mussel farms.
