  • PART ONE This Management Plan
    F I S H AND GAME NEW ZEALAND WEST COAST REGION SPORTS FISH AND GAME MANAGEMENT PLAN To manage, maintain and enhance the sports fish and game resource in the recreational interests of anglers and hunters AIRPORT DRIVE PO BOX 179 HOKITIKA 1 2 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am pleased to present the Sportsfish and Game Management Plan for the West Coast Fish and Game Council. This plan has been prepared in line with the statutory responsibilities of Fish and Game West Coast following extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. It identifies issues and establishes goals, objectives, and implementation methods for all output classes. While it provides an excellent snapshot-in-time of Fish and Game West Coast it should be noted that, as well as ongoing issues, there are likely to be further challenges in the future which will have the potential to impact on angler/hunter opportunities and satisfaction. To this extent, this plan must be seen as a document designed to be capable of addressing changing requirements by way of the annual workplan and in response to ongoing input from anglers and hunters, as well as other users of fish and game habitat. The West Coast Fish and Game Council welcomes such input.

  • Landslide-Induced River Channel Avulsions in Mountain Catchments of Southwest New Zealand
    Geomorphology 63 (2004) 57–80 www.elsevier.com/locate/geomorph Landslide-induced river channel avulsions in mountain catchments of southwest New Zealand Oliver Korup* School of Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, New Zealand Received 3 April 2003; received in revised form 19 March 2004; accepted 22 March 2004 Available online 20 May 2004 Abstract Pulsed or chronic supply of landslide debris to valley floors has historically caused substantial aggradation and channel instability in several alpine catchments of SW New Zealand. In this regional investigation of landslide impacts on river morphology, three types of landslide-induced channel avulsion are discerned: (i) upstream/backwater avulsions, (ii) contact avulsions, and (iii) downstream/loading avulsions. The basis for this qualitative geomorphic process-response framework is the principal direction of fluvial response with respect to its position relative to the causative landslide emplacement site. Downstream avulsions have the highest damage potential to land use and infrastructure on unconfined mountain-fringe alluvial fans. In the wake of such events, catastrophic aggradation may obliterate up to several km2 of mature floodplain forests by burial under several metres within a few decades. Estimates of mean aggradation rates are high (<220 mm yearÀ1) and exceed long-term (103 year) trends of fluvial degradation by an order of magnitude. Future potential avulsion routeways may be detected by geomorphic mapping of abandoned channels, which are preferentially reactivated in the wake of landslide-induced sediment waves.

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
