nitrogen Table 11 presents estimates of total nitrogen concentrations translated to attribute bands for 67 Taranaki lakes, from two models (Schallenburg et al. 2023 and Snelder et al. 2022).

(from 1 July to 30 June) under the Council’s state of environment monitoring (SoE) programme. This programme was initiated in 1995, and the methodology has remained relatively unchanged since that time. Various sites have been added and removed from the programme since it commenced, with a total of 67 sites currently monitored. Traditionally, monitoring surveys were performed twice during the monitoring year, once during spring (October to January) and once during summer

macroinvertebrate fauna surveys were undertaken in spring (October to December) and summer (February to May). Since that time, surveys have been taken once a year during summer (February to May), following recommendations from the previous annual report. The methodology has remained relatively unchanged over time, and there are currently 67 sites monitored throughout 35 rivers and streams across the Taranaki region. This annual report includes an assessment of Council’s macroinvertebrate data against
