Proposal Considered by the NZGB on 14 October 2020 For Proposal considered by the NZGB on 14 October 2020 for: Waihemo / Shag River [altered from Shag River (Waihemo)] NZTopo250-Sheet 27 Crown copyright reserved Inset map LINZ ‘Topo’ basemap Summary The proposal is to modernise the format and swap the order of the existing official dual place name Shag River (Waihemo) to Waihemo / Shag River. This would retain both place names, which have been used together nearly continuously as alternative or dual place names for at least 172 years. The proposers are Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki, based at Karitane to the south of the river and Te Rūnanga o Moeraki, based at Moeraki to the north, both being Ngāi Tahu Papatipu Rūnanga and mana whenua. The proposers seek the alteration to recognise the mana of the river, and advise that placing the Māori name first would ‘serve to link contemporary New Zealand with the early history of the feature as…another strand in the continuous line of history, whakapapa & connection’. The proposed alteration would meet the NZGB’s standard for dual names by having the original Māori place name first in recognition of first discovery and by using the solidus to separate the two parts of the name. With both place names retained in the standard modern format the Secretariat has no concerns that the proposed alteration would cause issues for emergency services. The NZGB assigned the existing official dual name Shag River (Waihemo) in 1985. The Dunedin office of the Department of Lands and Survey proposed officially restoring the Māori part of the name as it had dropped from some editions of topographic maps during the 1960s-80’s. NZGB hui 14 October/Whiringa-ā-nuku 2020 Page 1 of 5 Linzone ID: A4207141 Secretariat recommendation At its 14 October 2020 hui the NZGB resolved this recommendation. Recommendation Accept the proposal to alter the official dual name Shag River (Waihemo) to Waihemo / Shag River, based on: - reordering the name to better recognise the Māori history of occupation and use of the river, and the proposed format meeting the NZGB’s standard on dual names including recognition of first discovery, - both names continuing to be officially used together having been in long term use as a dual, and alternative names, - equal significant of both place names, - no concerns about issues for emergency services as both parts of the name are retained, and in the NZGB’s standard modern format for a dual name, - the NZGB meeting Treaty of Waitangi partnership, protection and participation principles through its post-settlement relationship with Ngāi Tahu, and Notify as a proposal to alter for one month. and Issue a media release on the day of Gazette notification to help with public awareness of the proposal and the reasons for the proposal. Secretariat assessment and advice The proposal The proposal is to modernise the format and swap the order of the existing official dual place name Shag River (Waihemo) to Waihemo / Shag River. The proposers are Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki, based at Karitane to the south of the river and Te Rūnanga o Moeraki, based at Moeraki to its north. These two Ngāi Tahu Papatipu Rūnanga have shared mana for the river, and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu has facilitated this proposal. Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki advises that: - the proposed alteration had unanimous support at its general meeting, - placing the Māori name first will recognise the mana of the name and better link to the long Māori history of use of the feature, noting the feature was a key pathway inland and source of mahika [māhinga] kai (the latter still being true today), Te Rūnanga o Moeraki advises similar points on the successive layers of historic Māori use of the feature, and that: - the local community ‘both Māori and Pakeha’ acknowledge the name Waihemo for the region, - the feature is linked to the Āraiteuru voyaging tradition, whereby the waka capsized nearby, and the crew were transformed into many geographic features in the area, NZGB hui 14 October/Whiringa-ā-nuku 2020 Page 2 of 5 Linzone ID: A4207141 - the alteration would be in accordance with the NZGB’s policy on dual names. Te Rūnanga o Moeraki’s letter of support also refers to ‘restoring’ the original Māori name; however, Waihemo is already part of the official dual name and has been in long term use on maps and charts. The proposal was received on 21 September 2020, well beyond the 2 September 2020 deadline for this hui. However, the NZGB Chairperson agreed to accept the proposal and waive the outstanding minimum requirements. Names shown on Waihemo and Shag River are used together on plans and maps to name the plans and maps river. Waihemo briefly dropped from some maps before returning after the NZGB assigned Shag River (Waihemo) as official in 1985.

NZGB hui 14 October/Whiringa-ā-nuku 2020 Page 3 of 5 Linzone ID: A4207141 Generic term and The generic term ‘river’ appropriately describes the feature and would be geographic feature retained in the proposed altered dual place name. type New Zealand The NZGB assigned Shag River (Waihemo) as an official name in 1985. Gazetteer, associative names There are several associated names, three for the Shag part of the name: duplication - Shag Point (locality) - Shag Point/Matakaea - Shag Point/Matakaea Scientific Reserve and four for the Waihemo part of the name: - Waihemo (trig) - Waihemo (locality) - Waihemo Recreation Reserve - Waihemo Scenic Reserve. ‘Waihemo’ place names are unique to this area, but there is extensive duplication of ‘Shag’ place names with 40 further iterations across New Zealand, including another Shag River in Southland. The nearest other Shag name is Shag Creek, 92km southwest of this proposal. Confusion with these features is unlikely given the uniqueness of the current dual name and its long- term use for this relatively prominent feature. Research, history Whalers applied the name Shag River1 and the feature has been referred to as and references to Shag River, Shag Valley, or The Shag. The name is widely assumed to refer to the feature the sea birds found in the area. Waihemo has been recorded as referring to the ‘river that has gone away’ or ‘dwindled’, or as per the NZGB’s map NZMS 346/2 Te Waipounamu, ‘has died’. Kā Huru Manu, the Ngāi Tahu cultural atlas does not refer to the meaning or origin of Waihemo but notes that archaeological investigations have confirmed early (14thcentury) settlement at its mouth2. The proposers have emphasised the long human history around this feature, which is one of the better documented in New Zealand. The bones of 1000’s of butchered moa were found in the sandbar at the river mouth3, which was gazetted as Onewhenua Historic Reserve in 1987. A significant later Ngāi Tahu settlement, Matakaea (cf Shag Point/Matakaea) was also located at the river mouth on its north side. The Kā Huru Manu entry details Ngāi Tahu’s use of the feature as a kāinga mahinga kai (food gathering site).4 Waihemo dropped from the river’s name on some maps in the 1960-80s. In 1984 the Dunedin office of the Department of Lands and Survey recommended to the NZGB that the Māori name be officially reinstated based on: • prior use, 1 Herries Beattie, (1948), Otago Place Names: As Bestowed by the Pakeha, Otago Daily Times and Witness Newspapers, Dunedin, N.Z, p.11 2 Shag River Mouth Moa Hunter Site - https://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/5700 3 Jill Hame, (2001), The archaeology of Otago, Wellington, N.Z.Dept. of Conservation 4 Matakaea/Shag Point Occupation Site - https://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/5702 NZGB hui 14 October/Whiringa-ā-nuku 2020 Page 4 of 5 Linzone ID: A4207141 • conforming with section 5(c) of the Board’s guidelines on nomenclature for alternative Māori names [using the then bracket format] • being in keeping with the name of the relevant local authority, Waihemo County, which also endorsed the proposal. At its 22 November 1984 meeting the NZGB agreed to assign Shag River (Waihemo) as official. Consultation The proposers are mana whenua, so no other iwi consultation was required to meet the minimum requirements. If the NZGB accepts the proposal the relevant local authorities, Waitaki District Council, Central Otago District Council, and Otago Regional Council would be advised of the proposal and its public consultation. Advice on A Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori licenced translator has advised that Waihemo is orthography5 correct. Relevant section Dual names from the Draft (a) Dual names, where both names are used together as one name, recognise Standard for New Zealand place the equal and specific significance of both names.

I recently met with Chris Lalas and Lyndon Perriman to discuss what Otago Birds NZ members can do to help with counting red-billed gull nests at colonies on the Otago coast. Chris and Lyndon have been surveying colonies regularly since 1992 (see Notornis 59:138, 2012) and will themselves carry out a census at the same sites again this season and their data will be added to the national survey database for the Birds NZ project. Graeme Loh will survey the hard to get to places around St Clair cliffs. The sites that are being surveyed (plus the Nuggets) are shown in the table along with the nest counts for 2014. Otago members can help with this survey by checking for other colonies along the Otago coast and up the Waitaki River. If anyone discovers a colony that is not on the list below, please record its location, estimate 2 number of nests, take photos, and report it immediately to Chris Lalas ([email protected] ). If you happen to get by foot or boat during November/December to parts of the coast that would be possible sites for colonies but find no gulls, please also report this, as this is also useful information.

Waitaki Delta Character Description This unit extends from the Otago Region and Waitaki District boundary at the Waitaki River, approximately 20km along the coast to the northern end of Oamaru. This area is the southern part of the outwash fan of the Waitaki River, and the unit extends northwards from the river mouth into the Canterbury Region as well. The coast is erosional and is characterised by a gravel beach backed by a steep consolidated gravel cliff. Nearer the river mouth the delta land surface is lower and there is no coastal cliff. In places, where streams reach the coast, there are steep sided minor ravines that run back from the coast. The land behind is farmed to the clifftop and characterised by pasture, crops and lineal exotic shelter trees. Farm buildings are scattered about but not generally close to the coastal edge. There are a number of gravel extraction sites close to the coast. 2 In the absence of topographical features, the coastal environment has been identified approximately 100m back from the top of the cliff to recognise that coastal influences and qualities extend a small way inland.

The light was excellent for viewing. Thanks so much to Andrew (who did a fantastic job rounding up the birds!), Bruce, Nick, Karthic and Mary, who helped set up telescopes and show the visitors the birds. When we arrived at quarter to 10 there was no sign of ‘our’ white heron but at about 10am it flew in to the lagoon corner where we were set up and it proceeded to stalk for prey for about 1h. The arrival of the heron set the hundred or so red-billed gulls off but we were left with plenty. This has been the best year for total number of species. All ducks – paradise, shoveler, grey teal and mallard and a domestic (scaup on upper lagoon).Both oystercatchers, pied stilt and one hybrid with black head, neck and breast. Even the spur-winged plovers showed their spurs. The 2 distant fallen tree revealed through the telescope, black, little and 1 pied shag.

On this field trip we will see some of these sequences as we travel north from Dunedin along the east Otago Coast and inland into the district around the Waitaki Valley. We will visit localities south of Oamaru, in the Waihao and Hakataramea Valleys, possibly upper Waitaki Valley, and near Duntroon. The route and localities are shown in 2 maps (Figure 1), and there is a simplified summary of Cretaceous-Cenozoic stratigraphy (Figure 2). The trip will emphasise fossiliferous rocks. Several past field trip guides deal also deal with this theme (e.g. Hornibrook 1982, Fordyce et al. 1985) and there is extensive published literature cited below. Localities include sites for Late Cretaceous-Early Miocene fossils including land plants, marine invertebrates and microfossils, and vertebrates.

Although ORC carries out regular and extensive long-term water quality monitoring as part of its State of the Environment (SoE) programme, it has not previously carried out a targeted, short-term monitoring investigation in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment. Why was this targeted investigation deemed necessary? This investigation was undertaken to: Provide a baseline of water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment, including at reference sites (with low-intensity land use), Compare water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment to water quality limits set out in Plan Change 6A, Identify any patterns in water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment and to relate these to land-use activities, where possible. What has this study found? Water quality in the Shag/Waihemo catchment is generally good. The concentration of nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NNN) increased at both long-term monitoring sites over the period 2001-2013, while concentrations of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH4-N) and Escherichia coli declined over this period.
