  • 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.

  • The Palynology of Two Whangarei Craters, Northland, New Zealand
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE PALYNOLOGY OF TWO WHANGAREI CRATERS, NORTHLAND, NEW ZEALAND. A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography at Massey University, New Zealand. Shirley May Gates 2013 The Swamp Forest in Maungatapere Crater, Whangarei Photographer; R. Stewart 2011-12-08. ii ABSTRACT Whangarei lies within the Puhipuhi-Whangarei Volcanic Field, one of two fields located in Northland. The purpose of this project was to use a palynological study to provide information on the minimum ages of the young Whangarei cones, their vegetation history, and the approximate date of human arrival. Wetlands in the craters of the Maungatapere and Rawhitiroa basaltic cones were selected for this study since they both occupy discrete areas which only collect sediment from within their respective cones. A single peat core from each wetland was processed for fossil pollen and radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating was performed by the University of Waikato, providing minimum ages for the volcanoes. The date for the base of the Maungatapere core was 10530 ± 136 cal. yr BP, and an age of 2775 ± 52 cal. yr BP was determined for the basal peat from Rawhitiroa. K-Ar dating performed previously indicated that these cones were about 0.30 my old. The pollen data indicated that a kauri-conifer-broadleaved forest was consistently present around Whangarei during the Holocene.
