the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holder/s during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance. Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations

research. Trapping success varied, but it can be easily improved to increase capture rates and minimise impacts on live-caught animals. Modifications to traps may be required to prevent moisture from urine or the environment contacting animals. Edgar traps might also be considered in the future for easily accessible areas, as these have nest boxes attached (although they are much heavier and more difficult to deploy). Also, to minimise the time an animal spends in the trap, checking traps later in …
Taranaki coastline (Figure 3) is exposed to the west, and as a consequence, high energy wave and wind conditions dominate the coastal environment. There are few areas of sheltered water beyond the estuaries, such as those of Tongaporutu, Waitara and Pātea rivers, and the confines of Port Taranaki. Almost the entire Taranaki coastline is subject to varying rates of natural erosion – from waves and wind. This has resulted in a predominantly cliffed coastline (approximately 90% of the
Significant deteriorations in black disc clarity were recorded at two sites, one of which reflected historical erosion events in the headwaters. The most improvement in long term water quality has been illustrated in the Waingongoro River at SH 45, with significantly improving trends in dissolved reactive and total phosphorus, and with reduction in nitrate and total nitrogen by slightly less than the rate defined as significant. This improvement has been coincident with land-irrigation of a major

following the same procedure as short vegetation, as fencing has been shown to result in rapid reductions in sediment exports (McKergow, Weaver et al. 2003), although little is currently known about fencing impacts on bank erosion rates (Hughes 2016), which will depend on stream size, bank height, and bank material. Index 3 was designed to more accurately quantify the effects of stream shading by riparian vegetation by comparing shading to the relative width of the stream.
