Ocean Beach Site in Bluff Was First Established As a Freezing Works in 1892 and by 1901 Was Capable of Freezing 3000 Sheep Each Day OCEANconnection between BEACHland and sea BLUFF (MOTUPŌHUE) AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND Bluff is a port town located on a peninsula at the southern end of the South Island of New Zealand. It is one of New Zealand’s earliest and longest continually settled areas by Europeans in Aotearoa. It is one of the original settlements of the Maori Ngai Tahu tribe who were located on the seaward facing side of Bluff. The first recorded boat entered Bluff harbour in 1813, when a trade expedition was sent from Sydney, Australia. Today the port of Bluff is an important commercial deepwater port with annual cargo throughput of over 1.7 million tonnes. The Ocean Beach site in Bluff was first established as a freezing works in 1892 and by 1901 was capable of freezing 3000 sheep each day. This operation closed in 1991 and the site is now the WELLINGTON home to a new and dynamic Aquaculture park.

The deep, cool southern waters of the Exclusive Economic Zone contain a wide variety of fish species including Southland’s most common commercial fish species, the blue cod and crayfish (Spiny Rock lobster). The main fishing methods in Southland are: crayfish and cod potting, oyster dredging, trawling, set netting, handlines and diving. Seafood exports account for around 90% of the seafood industry revenue and fisheries consistently ranks as the country’s fifth largest export earner. Currently aquaculture farming in Southland consists of mainly mussel and salmon farming conducted in Big Glory Bay, Stewart Island. Due to environmental constraints around farming within the marine environment, land based Aquaculture is becoming increasingly important. Ocean Beach is the only onshore Aquaculture site in Southland and when fully operational will be one of the largest Aquaculture parks in New Zealand. The site is currently the second largest onshore Paua (Abalone) fishery in New Zealand. OCEAN BEACH NZAC NUMBER OF PAUA BY YEAR PAUA (ABALONE) The New Zealand Abalone Company (NZAC) is in the early stages of re-establishing the Paua (Abalone) farm that was previously operated at Ocean Beach by Southern Marine Farms. The Paua live within the cold clean water extracted from the Foveaux Strait and feed on seaweed harvested from the surrounding region. The farm brood stock are sourced from Stewart Island with only the strongest and healthiest shellfish selected for the breeding process. The company is forecasting the first harvest of 400 tons (approximately 20,000,000 Paua) per annum by 2022. Due to the significant infrastructure in place this annual harvest could be increased should a sufficient level of demand be achieved. The New Zealand Abalone Company (NZAC) intends to supply the domestic and international markets through distribution partners rather than market the product directly. The New Zealand Abalone Company (NZAC) are currently in discussions with a number of parties about establishing long term supplier relationships for significant quantities of New Zealand Abalone. OCEAN BEACH AQUACULTURE PARK Ocean Beach Aquaculture Park is located at the gateway to Bluff, New Zealand with spectacular views across Foveaux Strait to Stewart Island. The Park is spread over 13 hectares of land with an adjacent 40 hectares of Southport rural farm land. Ocean Beach has Coastal Permits in place to extract large Bluff Town quantities of salt water from the fast moving and cold clean waters of Foveaux Strait. Coastal Permits are also in place to extract saltwater from the Bluff Harbour which is suitable for shellfish and seaweed farming. Ocean Beach currently has The New Zealand Abalone Company’s abalone farm operating from the site. The New Zealand Abalone Company is on target to be New Zealand’s largest producer of Abalone by 2022. Ocean Beach are also in discussions with a number of interested parties to establish their Aquaculture Farms on the site.

The modification of toheroa habitat by streams on Ripiro Beach A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Research) in Environmental Science at The University of Waikato by JANE COPE 2018 ―We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there‖ – Pascal Mercier, Night train to London i Abstract Habitat modification and loss are key factors driving the global extinction and displacement of species. The scale and consequences of habitat loss are relatively well understood in terrestrial environments, but in marine ecosystems, and particularly soft sediment ecosystems, this is not the case. The characteristics which determine the suitability of soft sediment habitats are often subtle, due to the apparent homogeneity of sandy environments.

  • Contaminants in Shellfish Flesh an Investigation Into Microbiological and Trace Metal Contaminants in Shellfish from Selected Locations in the Wellington Region
    Contaminants in shellfish flesh An investigation into microbiological and trace metal contaminants in shellfish from selected locations in the Wellington region Prepared by: J R Milne Environmental Monitoring and Investigations Greater Wellington Regional Council Executive summary The Wellington region’s varied and extensive coastline is utilised for both traditional and recreational harvesting of a number of shellfish species. Greater Wellington Regional Council periodically monitors the safety of these shellfish for human consumption. This report presents the results of the 2006 investigation, focusing on microbiological and trace metal contaminants in tuatua, cockles and blue mussels from selected sites in the western Wellington region. Faecal coliform indicator bacteria were detected in eight out of a total of 58 shellfish samples. Four of the eight results above detection were recorded in cockle samples collected from Porirua Harbour. No samples had bacteria present at a concentration that exceeded the recommended microbiological guidelines for edible tissue. Cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc were all present in the three species of shellfish examined. However, none of the metal concentrations exceeded the national food standards for edible tissue, where standards exist. The tuatua and cockle sample results showed little spatial variation in mean metal concentrations, with similar concentrations recorded between most sampling sites. However, there was some spatial variation in metal concentrations in the mussel samples from Wellington Harbour. Samples collected adjacent to Frank Kitts Park and the Thorndon Container Wharf in the inner harbour generally recorded the highest concentrations, while samples collected from Mahanga Bay, Shark Bay and Sunshine Bay consistently recorded the lowest concentrations.

  • Review of the Archaeology of Foveaux Strait, New Zealand, by Chris Jacomb, Richard Walter and Chris
    REVIEW OF THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF FOVEAUX STRAIT, NEW ZEALAND CHRIS JACOMB, RICHARD WALTER and CHRIS JENNINGS University of Otago The waters and shores of Foveaux Strait make up one of the coldest, windiest environments in New Zealand and, lying well outside the tropical horticulture zone, could not have been less like the environment of the Polynesian homelands. Yet they contain an extensive archaeological record which includes a low density but wide distribution of sites, as well as some rich artefact assemblages held in private and public collections. The record is not well dated but the few radiocarbon dates and the material culture and economy suggest that occupation commenced as early there as in any other part of the country. In considering why people moved so far south so early, Lockerbie (1959) rejected push factors such as demographic or resource pressures and argued that there must have been some serious attractors (pull factors) in play. Working today with a much shorter chronology, push motives seem even less likely but it is difficult to imagine what the pull factors might have been. Foveaux Strait settlement coincides with the expansion of moa hunting in southern New Zealand but there were never many moa (Dinornithiformes) along the south coast and moa bone is rare in south coast middens. There are resident populations of sea mammals including New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsterii) and sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) but these were not restricted to Foveaux Strait (Smith 1989: 208), nor do the sites show high levels of sea mammal predation. Today, one of the most important seasonal resources is the sooty shearwater (mutton bird or titi(Puffinus) griseus) but again, there are no strong archaeological indicators of an early emphasis on mutton birding (Anderson 1995, 2001; Sutton and Marshall 1980).

  • Living Blue: Marine Reserves Marine Foodweb Game
    Living Blue: Marine Reserves Marine Foodweb Game I play this game after the marine reserves talk, which introduces the concept of food webs and the need to conserve whole ecosystems, not just individual species. The page with all the animals on it can also be printed off for the children to do in class as a follow-up activity. Minimum of 8 players Use cards in ordered numbers to make sure the game will work Laminated cards have been made up, with a string to put around the child’s neck. Take along a bunch of precut strings. Some kids will need more than one piece. The game is crazy at first, all kids running around and changing their minds and general chaos. This is how it should be! Give them a few minutes to get themselves into a knot, then stop them all and help them to do it methodically, starting with the sun and the others joining up one by one. Then once they are all joined up, choose one child to become “extinct” by sitting down. All the others that feel their string being pulled need to sit down too. The effect will ricochet until most of the kids are sitting down. This explains why each animal is an important part of the foodweb. 1.The sun 16.Moray eel 2.Seaweed 17.Manta ray 3.Phytoplankton 18.Barnacle 4.Mussels 19.Hawkfish 5.Paua 20.Tern 6.Kina 21.Shark 7.Snapper 22.Squid (eat mullet, eaten by albatross) 8.Starfish 23.Yellow-eyed mullet (eat zooplankton, eaten by squid) 9.Zooplankton 24.Albatross (eats squid) 10.Blenny 25.Blue penguin (eats fish, eaten by shark) 11.Mullet 26.Seahorse (eats zooplankton, no predators) 12.Seal 27.Limpets (eat seaweed, eaten by starfish and octopus) 13.Fin whale 28.Dolphin (eats squid, fish) 14.Orca 29.Crayfish 15.Octopus 30.Tuna (eats small fish, eaten by sharks) Marine food web.

    AQUACULTURE IN NEW ZEALAND A DIVISION OF NEW ZEALAND TRADE AND ENTERPRISE New Zealand is one of the world’s fi nest locations for aquaculture. The New Zealand government, through Investment New Zealand, is committed to helping investors discover the opportunities that New Zealand offers aquaculturists and assisting inward investment to this growing sector. INTRODUCTION New Zealand has thousands of kilometres of pristine, unpolluted coastline situated in the vast South Pacifi c Ocean. Its isolated position, far removed from intensive human activity, and many sheltered harbours and bays, make New Zealand the perfect location for growing a diverse array of shellfi sh, fi nfi sh, seaweed and other aquatic and marine organisms. 01 New Zealand’s aquaculture sector has advanced at a rapid rate since the late 1980s, having grown at an average annual rate of 11.7% by volume over the 20 years to 2005, yet it remains in the early stages of its development. The industry is based on natural competitive advantages, supported by in-depth knowledge, excellent research capability and a spirit of innovation. Global demand for aquaculture products is rapidly rising. With wild fi sheries production static due to declining stocks, there is a continuing shift toward sustainable fi sheries practices including aquaculture. The aquaculture industry is of increasing social and economic importance in New Zealand. New Zealand has developed a structured system of aquaculture legislation to manage the competing demands for coastal marine space and to evaluate the impact of aquaculture on the values placed on the land and coast. There are many successful ventures in the New Zealand aquaculture industry.

  • 1 Country Note on National Fisheries Management
    COUNTRY NOTE ON NATIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS -- NEW ZEALAND Summary 1. This paper provides an overview of New Zealand’s management of commercial fisheries. It is New Zealand’s country note contribution to the OECD Fisheries Committee’s review of the use of management instruments/incentives in OECD countries. This review forms part of the Committee’s further examination of economic aspects relating to the transition to sustainable fisheries. 2. Part I of this paper briefly describes New Zealand’s commercial fisheries1. Part II describes the regime used to manage fisheries and information is provided on objectives, management instruments and institutional arrangements. This part outlines the Quota Management System (QMS), which is New Zealand’s preferred way of managing commercial fisheries and is used to manage most stocks in New Zealand fisheries waters. 3. Part III assesses the attributes of the property rights that are a component of the QMS. Quota shares are allocated to fishers when a stock becomes subject to the QMS. Each quota share is an ownership right in perpetuity and each year it generates an Annual Catching Entitlement (ACE). Quota shares are considered to demonstrate certain attributes of property rights – exclusivity, duration, quality of title, transferability, divisibility and flexibility. Opportunities exist for improving flexibility in use of the catching entitlements generated by quota shares. New Zealand is implementing an approach that enables quota share owners to act collectively and to propose legally recognised fisheries plans. This approach means quota share owners will be able to shape the management of the fishery, which should lead to more efficient use of resources and increases in fishery and quota share value.
