  • Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds
    Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds Name/Area: Ngunguru Estuary Summary: The Ngunguru Estuary is a small estuary situated to the north-east of Whangarei Harbour. It has very small areas of tidal flat, but well buffered edges comprising mangroves, saltmarsh and adjacent shrubland and some exotic forestry. There is a little-modified sandspit at the entrance flanked by shrubland and forest linking south with Horahora Estuary, while a residential area (Ngunguru) lies on the northern side of the estuary. Low numbers of several threatened species frequent or visit the estuary mainly for feeding (refer Table below). The sandspit provides breeding habitat for northern NZ dotterel and variable oystercatcher and roosting flocks of several species. There are important populations of fernbirds, banded rails, crakes and Australasian bitterns in this area as well as recovering numbers of pateke (brown teal). The ecological significance of this estuary is High given the importance of the sandspit and the habitat sequences through to freshwater wetlands which collectively support many threatened and at risk species.
