Environmental Status of the Near Shore Coastal Environment
Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment April 2005 Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment ISBN 1-877265-14-4 April 2005 Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment i Executive Summary This report presents a comprehensive review of the environmental status of Otago’s near shore coastal environment. There is no current Otago Regional Council (ORC) coastal monitoring programme and therefore the ORC relies on resource consent monitoring to fulfil it’s responsibilities under the Resource Management Act (1991), the Regional Policy Statement and the Regional Plan: Coast. The only intensive coastal monitoring undertaken is in the vicinity of Dunedin and is due to the discharge of Green Island and Tahuna WWTP effluent, otherwise coastal monitoring of Otago’s coastal marine area (CMA) is limited both temporally and spatially. A review of coastal monitoring undertaken since the late 1990’s is presented with particular regard to water quality, the effects of discharges and possible effects on recreational and food gathering areas. Four main areas are covered: • Water quality monitoring undertaken as a requirement of resource consents. • Other monitoring as required by resource consents such as sediment monitoring programmes, ecological programmes, algal monitoring programmes or monitoring for the extent of mussel contamination. • ORC State of Environment monitoring of the major rivers that discharge into the Otago CMA. • A review of published research conducted in Otago’s CMA over the past 10 years. There is a need for a coordinated long term water quality and environmental monitoring programme for the whole of the Otago coastline, and the following monitoring and information gathering requirements are recommended: • That sufficient baseline information is collected to be able to establish water quality classes for the Otago CMA. -
