region but the combination of light, sandy soils and strong winds in some areas can lead to localised wind erosion. The Taranaki coastal environment is the fourth of the major landforms.

There are few areas of sheltered water beyond the major estuaries such as the Tongaporutu, Waitara and Patea rivers, and the confines of Port Taranaki. The Taranaki region has a temperate
