Darren's Diaries for West Coast Earth Science diaries/diary-4 from earthscience91. http://earthscience91.learnz.org.nz/index.php?vft=ear... Previous Darren's Diaries for West Coast Earth Science Diary 4 - Friday 13 March 2009 Field Trip Name: West Coast Earth Science Field Trip Place: Stockton Diary number of total: 4 of 4 Weather: Blue skies for most of the day Where's Darren: Travelling across the Southern Alps (Westport- Hanmer Springs) Hi everyone, Darren here. Low cloud in the Buller Gorge this morning. Image: Heurisko Ltd. We left Westport as the Sun was rising this morning. Heading inland up the Buller River we were met by the sight of low cloud rolling down the gorge towards us. It reminded us of the glaciers that flowed from the hills in this area a few thousand years ago. Our first stop today was the little town of Inangahua Junction. Before 1968 not many people had heard of the place but that all changed at 5.24am on the morning of 24 May 1968. Movement of a fault just a few kilometres to the north of the town caused a magnitude 7 earthquake. Buildings were destroyed by the shaking and by landslides from the surrounding limestone hills. It was a while before the rest of New Zealand knew of the damage as communications to the area were cut. Numerous Inside the musuem at Inanaghua Junction. Image: Heurisko Ltd. aftershocks continued, with a further 14 greater than magnitude 5 that same day. A pilot of a rescue helicopter said he saw the ground "moving like waves" as he flew over the area during one of these aftershocks. Three people died during the earthquake and another three died when a rescue helicopter crashed. We spent some time in the small museum there looking at the photographs and reading the newspaper reports of that day. Driving east we followed the Buller River to Murchison. Along the way we spotted a huge part of the ridgeline above us that had been dislodged in another earthquake, the Murchison earthquake. The year of 1929 was a year of earthquakes in New Zealand, 678 in total. Large earthquakes happened in Arthur's You can see where a large part of the ridgeline collapsed during the Murchison Pass (9 March) and the Central North Island (8 May) but these earthquake. Image: Heurisko Ltd. were overshadowed on Monday 17 June. At 10.17am a magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook New Zealand from Auckland to Dunedin and was centred on Murchsion. The 300 people who lived there were thrown to the ground as a piece of land 75km long was lifted by about half a metre. Witnesses spoke of the noise the earthquake made, a booming sound heard as far away as Taranaki in the North Island. Roads rippled like ribbons being blown by the breeze. Seventeen people died, many due to the landslides and floods the earthquake caused. There is a monument to these people outside of the small museum in Murchison. The names of the people have been put on rocks from the landslides that took their lives. Take a look at the photo The memorial in Murchison to the 17 people who taken just after the earthquake to get an idea of the devastation. lost their lives in the 1929 earthquake. Image: Heurisko Ltd. We headed south to visit another product of the Murchison earthquake, Maruia Falls. Take a look at the panorama image to 1 of 3 15/06/2009 16:35 diaries/diary-4 from earthscience91. http://earthscience91.learnz.org.nz/index.php?vft=ear... see this waterfall on the Maruia River created when the earthquake caused a landslide which altered the course of the river. Back in car the we continued our journey towards Springs Junction. On the way we stopped to have an audioconference with students from St Andrew's College from Christchurch. Engineering Geologist Tim Sikma joined us on the phone from Westport to answer a range of questions including topics such as rock types, tectonic plate movement and the structure of the Earth. Just before the audioconference a jet plane had flown overhead leaving a vapour trail. During the audioconference the trail began to spread out and made it look like a nearby Murchison Musuem. Image: Heurisko Ltd. mountain had turned into a volcano. Just after passing through Springs Junction we came to a place called Marble Hill. Here we stopped to take a look at a wall. Why do this? Well, it is quite a special wall built in 1964 by a geologist called Frank Evison. It crosses the Alpine Fault and was put in place to monitor movement of the fault. Watch the video to learn more. We continued to head east crossing the Southern Alps via the Lewis Pass. The Southern Alps are real mountains, steep and pointy, just like the mountains a small child would draw. They This photograph in the Murchison Museum show are being worn down as fast as they are being pushed up at the the devastation of the 1929 earthquake. Image: moment. Seeing the amount of scree flowing down from them Heurisko Ltd. gives an indication of the amount of weathering and erosion happening. Our travels took us along the Hope River. This river runs along the line of the Hope Fault. This fault is an offshoot of the Alpine Fault. It runs for 230km from the Taramakau River to Kaikoura. Get a map and trace the line of this fault. In 1888 movement along a 30km section of this fault caused the North Canterbury earthquake. This magnitude 7 earthquake knocked the top off the spire of the Christchurch Cathedral. The Lyttelton Times reported: Maruia Falls. They were formed after a landslip "The spire of the Cathedral has come to grief. Its tapering, during the Murchison earthquake diverted the graceful outline, a landmark for every dweller on the plains within river's flow. Image: Heurisko Ltd. thirty miles, and a beacon for the mariner crossing Pegasus Bay, no longer cuts the sky. Twenty six feet of the upper spire have given way, and the melancholy appearance of the wreck strikes every eye." Webster, who had been a little worried about another earthquake happening any minute, was desperate for a cappucino. We promised him one after we had had finished our audioconference with students from Waitaki Girls' High School. Another set of great questions, expertly answered by Tim Sikma, who again joined us from Westport. One of the most interesting discussions was on the effect of climate change on A volcano in the Southern Alps? No, it's just a jet the height of Mount Cook. The freezing and thawing of water on trail from a high flying aircraft. Image: Heurisko Ltd. the summits of New Zealand's mountains is their major form of weathering. A warmer climate would obviously affect this so would our mountains get bigger? Our day drew to an end at the Alpine resort of Hanmer Springs but not before we made a video looking at the effects of fault movement on the region.

INTRODUCTION Qualifications and Experience 1.1 My name is Malcolm Grierson Bell. I am 57 years old. I own “The Complete Angler” a fishing tackle store employing 9 full time workers. The business was started by me in 1982 and has advised large numbers of both local and overseas anglers on fishing techniques and locations. 1.2 I have a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science with a major in Ecology and Entomology. I have run fly fishing and casting courses for 27 years, teaching over one thousand anglers to fly fish. I have written and photographed for various fishing publications and worked in producing various DVD’s on fishing. 1.3 I have fly fished since I was 12. Fishing became very much part of my family culture. I enjoyed a particularly close relationship with my father and brother as we explored many different areas and honed our skills in trout and salmon fishing. In looking back over these years I consider those times of fishing and camping of extreme value as I learnt to cope with the outdoors and become resourceful in that environment.

  • Proposed Amendments to LWRP Schedule 17: Salmon Spawning Sites
    Memo Date 28 May 2019 To Environment Canterbury Planning Team CC From Jarred Arthur (Scientist – Water Quality and Ecology) Proposed amendments to LWRP Schedule 17: Salmon Spawning Sites Purpose The Land and Water Regional Plan (LWRP) outlines several policies and rules that control activities in and adjacent to salmon spawning habitats of high value. These 32 ‘significant’ salmon spawning sites are listed in Schedule 17 of the plan. The advent of new spawning information means that Schedule 17 does not recognise a number of spawning sites important to maintaining Canterbury’s internationally recognised salmon fishery. The following memo is prepared by the Environment Canterbury science team with support from the Central South Island and North Canterbury Fish and Game councils. It outlines a proposal to amend Schedule 17 of the LWRP including: • adding 31 new sites; o 22 established from new Fish and Game spawning habitat data and information. o nine situated in the Waimakariri River Catchment currently excluded from the current schedule due to the Waimakariri River Regional Plan (WRRP) controlling land and water activities in these areas. • updates to three site descriptions and coordinates for existing Schedule 17 sites – proposed change in length/area of the existing sites; • updates to ten site descriptions and coordinates for existing Schedule 17 sites – no resultant change in length/area of the existing sites; and • a revision of the LWRP Planning Maps to show the proposed amendments to existing spawning sites and newly recommended spawning sites. Background Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) are largely confined to Canterbury with only small populations found in Otago, the West Coast and Marlborough (Unwin, 2006).
