  • Opportunities for Ecological Restoration in the Takaka Catchment
    OPPORTUNITES FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION IN THE TAKAKA CATCHMENT Philip Simpson Uruwhenua Botanicals Pohara March, 2008 Ko Philip Simpson taku ingoa Ko Takaka te awa Ko Pikikiruna te maunga Ko Te Tai Mohua te moana Ko Ara o te Pohara taku turangawaewae Takaka is the river Takaka Hill is the mountain Golden Bay is the sea Pohara Valley is where I stand VISION: To match the remarkable living environment of the Takaka catchment with ecological health, restored and maintained by community action. Cover: Robin Slow, "Nga manu o Mohua" He Writes "[Manu] were kaitiaki, guardians of places; they flew across the sky as comets brightening the sky, they haunted the dark places expressing warnings and danger, and they sang." The birds reflect ecological health. Who has seen a young kereru lately? The name “Golden Bay” is popularly thought to reflect the discovery of gold in the 1850’s. However, the Maori name for the district is “Mohua”, the name for the yellowhead or “bush canary”, and the bay itself is “Te tai mohua”. A distinctly yellow after-glow is a feature of most clear evenings, sometimes reflected in the sea, and this seems to be a far more evocative origin for the name “Golden Bay” - a direct translation from Maori identity. Revised March 2009 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background This report was commissioned by the Tasman Environmental Trust (TET) in order to develop a strategic view of opportunities for the Cobb Mitigation Fund, on the advice of its Cobb Mitigation Fund sub-committee. The fund has been generated by Cobb Power Limited as mitigation for consent to operate the Cobb River Power Scheme for a 35-year period from 2001.

  • Message from the President We Had a Face to Face Council Meeting in Wellington on Thursday 23 October
    E-N E WSL E TT E R : NO 60. NOV E MB E R 2008 Deadline for next issue: Monday 15 December 2008 Message from the President We had a face to face Council meeting in Wellington on Thursday 23 October. I thought that it might be useful if, after each Council Meeting, I provided a brief summary of the business discussed. One of the main items that took up a lot of time and continues to do so is the Network Website. It is not the content that is the issue; rather it is the hosting of the site and the associated technical problems including the need to make the site more secure. All of this is taking time to resolve and there are associated costs of a not inconsiderable nature. I can assure you that this is being treated as a very urgent and high priority matter. Meanwhile, I must beg you to be patient. Other important matters that we discussed included finances, progress with existing projects (e.g. The Threatened Plant book, Marae courses, digitising botanical society journals), ideas for additional sponsors for the Network, recruitment of new members, the establishment of the Trust to administer the David Given Scholarship, the processing of our application for the Network to be an NGO member of IUCN, the content of the Newsletter and how to attract more articles. We left a good amount of time to have a debrief from the Conference. We talked about what was good and what could be improved. We have received a lot of comments about the Conference and all have been very positive.

I have also studied karst and karst hydrology overseas and therefore have acquired a first-hand international perspective on the significance of the Te Waikoropupu Springs and its groundwater system. As a result, I have long been aware of the unique nature and importance of Te Waikoropupu Springs and so was pleased to agree to present evidence in support of their conservation when approached to do so by the Friends of Golden Bay. Qualifications and Experience 3 I have the following qualifications and experience: (a) PhD (Cambridge 1965) (b) ScD (Cambridge 1991) (c) Senior Fellow, International Association of Geomorphologists (2009) (d) Professor and now Emeritus Professor, School of Environment, University of Auckland (since 1972) (e) Member of Geoscience Society of NZ, NZ Geographical Society, NZ Hydrological Society, NZ Speleological Society, International Association of Hydrogeologists, International Association of Geomorphologists, International Union of Speleology.
