    F I S H AND GAME NEW ZEALAND WEST COAST REGION SPORTS FISH AND GAME MANAGEMENT PLAN To manage, maintain and enhance the sports fish and game resource in the recreational interests of anglers and hunters AIRPORT DRIVE PO BOX 179 HOKITIKA 1 2 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am pleased to present the Sportsfish and Game Management Plan for the West Coast Fish and Game Council. This plan has been prepared in line with the statutory responsibilities of Fish and Game West Coast following extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. It identifies issues and establishes goals, objectives, and implementation methods for all output classes. While it provides an excellent snapshot-in-time of Fish and Game West Coast it should be noted that, as well as ongoing issues, there are likely to be further challenges in the future which will have the potential to impact on angler/hunter opportunities and satisfaction. To this extent, this plan must be seen as a document designed to be capable of addressing changing requirements by way of the annual workplan and in response to ongoing input from anglers and hunters, as well as other users of fish and game habitat. The West Coast Fish and Game Council welcomes such input.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Zemacrosaldula, new genus, is described with Salda australis White, 1876, as type species, resulting in the following new combination Zemacrosaldula australis (White, 1876). Three new species are described: Zemacrosaldula kapekape new species, Z. whakarunga new species, Z. pangare new species. A revision of the taxonomy of all taxa is presented. Species are keyed. Morphological descriptions are provided together with illustrations emphasising the most significant diagnostic features of external morphology and male genitalia. Information is given on synonymy, type specimens, material exam- ined, geographic distribution and biology. Key words: shore bugs, revision, systematics, biodiversity Introduction Relatively little is known about the shore bugs (Hemiptera: Saldidae) of New Zealand. Seven endemic species so far placed in the genus Saldula Van Duzee, 1914, have been described from this country (Larivière & Larochelle 2004; 2014). No taxonomic revision or identification key has ever been published for this fauna. In addition to original species descriptions, the most useful contributions to the taxonomy and general understanding of the New Zealand Saldidae have been made by Cobben (1961; 1980a), Polhemus (1985a), and Schuh & Polhemus (2009).

  • Annual Report for the 2018/19 Canyoning Season
    ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE 2018/19 CANYONING SEASON Presidents report By Dan Clearwater It has been another fantastic season of canyoning around the country. Although I only managed a handful of trips myself, it is so pleasing to see so many people getting out canyoning. One highlight for me has been watching the amount of exploration going on, especially around the middle of the South Island. In Canterbury, there’s been a flurry of 1st descent fever, as the canyons in the Arthurs Pass region get systematically explored by several prolific teams. It even got to the point where ‘competing’ parties met by chance at the same carparks and once, even in the same canyon, as two branches joined into the main stream! The variety and quality of the new canyons is Dan in Zigzag Creek very pleasing, with many steep alpine canyons with multipitch rappels, as well as some quite aquatic and enclosed descents. Over the divide, there have been several Photo/Toine Houtenbos new highly aquatic classics explored and equipped. All this makes me very excited about the upcoming 2020 Canyoning Festival in Canterbury! Its also great to see a lot of canyons which were opened in the last season getting repeated, even the most technical ones. It seems the lower Dart Valley canyons are getting a very good reputation and seeing an impressive amount of descents. Whilst our members are doing great things, the organisation itself had a huge success this season. With significant support from the Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ (to which NZCA belongs) we managed to thwart (for now) plans to destroy Griffin Creek through a hydro scheme.

  • WC River Flood History J Benn 1846
    1 WEST COAST RIVER FLOOD HISTORY 1846 - 1989 Compiled by John Benn for the West Coast Regional Council 22 FEBRUARY 1846 Heavy rain for a week raised the Buller River and hindered Thomas Brunners' exploration of the Buller Gorge, Brunner commented, "I find some parts of this at a fresh the river rises upward of 30 feet (9.1m)". (Brailsford 1984) 4 - 11 MAY 1846 Torrential, almost continuous rain fell for a week, being accompanied by a north-east gale. Rain on the night of the 4th brought flood waters down from hills above Okiri (near Nine Mile) and surface water flooded Charles Heaphy's campsite. On the 5th, Heaphy and company tried to cross the Totara River but couldn't due to it being in high flood. The Totara River remained in flood until the 11th, along with other streams and creeks in the area (Heaphy 1846). 11 - 14 JULY 1846 The Karamea River was in flood, halting Heaphy's progress northwards for three days (Heaphy 1846). c5 JANUARY 1847 During Thomas Brunner's expedition, the Turaumea River was recorded as being in flood. A flax raft had to be made to get supplies to the other side whilst the people swam behind the raft (Matthews 1957). 23 MARCH 1847 Torrential rain raised the Buller River hindering Brunner's progress back to Nelson (Matthews 1957). 19 SEPTEMBER 1859 A large flood in the middle reaches of the Buller Gorge was recorded by John Rochfort, a pioneer surveyor. He noted the river in most places contracted to so links (10m) and of great depth - the fresh rose upwards of 60 feet (18.2m) in the Gorge (Brailsford 1984).
