  • A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand: Nelson/Marlborough
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand NELSON/MARLBOROUGH CONSERVANCY Farewell Spit (39) Location: 40o32'S, 172o50'E. At the northern extremity of Golden Bay and the northwestern extremity of South Island, 38 km from the town of Takaka, Tasman District. Area: 11,388 ha (land area c.1,961 ha; inter-tidal zone c.9,427 ha). Altitude: Sea level to 3 m. - 155 - A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand Overview: Farewell Spit is a classic recurved spit, approximately 30 km long, composed predominantly of uniform quartz sand derived from rivers draining westwards and transported northward by the westland current. The north is exposed to the Tasman Sea, but the south has extensive tidal mudflats. These provide feeding areas for large numbers of waterfowl. Some 95 species were recorded on the spit in March 1974, and more than 83 species of wetland birds are regularly recorded at the spit. The sand dunes provide habitat for a diverse and unusual plant community. Farewell Spit was listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on 13 August 1976. Physical features: Farewell Spit is a classic recurved spit. The material forming the spit is derived from erosion of the Southern Alps and West Coast sea cliffs, transported northwards by a long-shore current. Since the estimated origin of the spit 6,500 years ago, an estimated 2.2 million cubic metres of sand have been deposited per annum. Wind transports more surface sand towards Golden Bay, although the majority of sand lies below the mean low water mark.

    New Zealand’s Hottest Destination Is One You’ve Likely Never Heard Of At the top of the country’s South Island, Nelson Tasman dazzles visitors with otherworldly natural beauty and world-class wine, art, and cuisine. By Alexandra Kirkman August 18, 2019 Even in a country renowned across the globe for its ineffable natural beauty, New Zealand’s Nelson Tasman region particularly astounds. Encompassing the most northwesterly part of the South Island—including the city of Nelson, its oldest settlement—and considered the nation’s sunniest place (with 30% more rays than the national average), it’s home to a literal slew of earthly wonders, including Lake Rotomairewhenua—officially named “the clearest lake in the world”—and Farewell Spit, one of the largest sand spits on the planet, as well as scads of exquisite beaches, cerulean bays, extraordinary rockscapes, soaring alpine peaks, and towering ancient forests. But the area’s spectacular array of staggering landscapes is just one notable element of its exceptional and varied allure. These days, Nelson Tasman offers a bona fide bonanza of first-rate activities and destinations for nature-lovers, oenophiles, gourmets, and aesthetes alike. Gardens of Plenty It’s worth planning your trip well in advance to score a coveted reservation at Edenhouse, Nelson Tasman’s most sought-after luxury lodge. Nestled in the seemingly boundless verdure of the Orinoco Valley, a secluded pastoral area studded with farms and orchards and just 45 minutes from Nelson Airport, it’s an unrivaled base from which to explore the myriad riches of the region—though no one will blame you for never wanting to leave the idyllic grounds.
