Taranaki’s native wildlife, predators and urban trappers are in the spotlight, with some species and trap catches under surveillance 24/7, providing live data. Scientist Halema Jamieson, from Taranaki Regional Council, leads the region-wide monitoring that’s shining a light on native wildlife, plants and the predators that threaten them - rats, mustelids (stoats, weasels and ferrets), possums, and feral cats – as part of the region-wide project Towards Predator-Free Taranaki.

The mauri and health of our rivers and streams are highly valued and are vital to the well-being, livelihood and lifestyle of everyone in the Taranaki region. David MacLeod. There is plenty of interest and public discussion around the water quality in our rivers and streams. And so, as the manager of the freshwater resource, the Taranaki Regional Council closely monitors waterway quality to ensure that the discussion, as well as the Council’s own decision making, is well informed by fact and

monitors dairy farms and enforces the required standards. Taranaki was one of just four regions to receive an A grade in the Forest and Bird assessment, the Consents and Regulatory Committee was told. The other three were Tasman, Hawke’s Bay and Wellington, whose dairy sectors are much smaller. The Taranaki Regional Council won top marks for monitoring every farm in the region, carrying out ‘cold call’ inspections and taking enforcement action in every case of serious non-compliance.

additional growth is expected in the Stratford region over the next 15 years, no
upgrades are required for capacity purposes.
2.2.2 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS
An ecological report2 was prepared based on the finding of four annual monitoring
reports completed by TRC. The report determined that the Stratford WwTP is
contributing to periphyton growth, but that reducing the load from the plant may not
have an effect on the growth as upstream levels
contributing waterways drain off the high, steep, unstable slopes of
Mount Taranaki and are capable of transporting large amounts of coarse sediment as bed load, as
well as fine sediment (TRC, 2011). Additionally, the orographic influence of Mount Taranaki results in
high local rainfall and attracts high intensity rainfall events in the headwaters of rivers originating on
the Maunga. This means sediment transport rates, and the frequency of sediment transport events,
are likely to be relatively high in the
