  • Chatham Island and Pitt Island Shag Census 2011 DRAFT REPORT
    MCSPOP2010-02 DRAFT REPORT MCSPOP2010-02: Chatham Island and Pitt Island shag census 2011 DRAFT REPORT Chatham Island shag Pitt Island shag May 2012 Igor Debski1, Mike Bell2 and Dan Palmer1 1Science and Technical Group, Department of Conservation, PO Box 10-420, Wellington 6143 2Wildlife Management International Limited, PO Box 45, Spring Creek, Marlborough 7244 1 MCSPOP2010-02 DRAFT REPORT Abstract We conducted an extensive survey of coastal areas suitable for Chatham Island and Pitt Island shag nesting between August and November 2011. The census methods were designed to maximise comparability with an earlier census in 1997/98. Based on a complete census of all known Chatham Island shag breeding colonies we estimated the breeding population to be 355 pairs, representing a 58 % decline since 1997/98. We estimated the total Pitt Island shag breeding population to be 434 pairs, a 40% decline since 1997/98 (extrapolated numbers were used for some outlying islands known to hold this species that we did not visit). A series of regular observations showed that breeding activity for both species peaks in October, though there is some notable variation in timing between colonies. Such variation must be taken into consideration in estimating the total breeding population for both species. Both species are distributed across the Chatham Islands group. We found that population declines since 1997/98 have been particularly steep for both species at Pitt Island and outlying islands, with smaller declines on main Chatham Island. A range of anthropogenic threats have been identified, both land-based and at-sea. Because population declines have been particularly pronounced at pest-free, protected out-lying islands we conclude that at-sea factors are likely to be driving the population decline, though more research is required to identify causal factors.

  • Otago Conservancy
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand OTAGO CONSERVANCY Sutton Salt Lake (67) Location: 45o34'S, 170o05'E. 2.7 km from Sutton and 8 km from Middlemarch, Straith-Tari area, Otago Region, South Island. Area: 3.7 ha. Altitude: 250 m. Overview: Sutton Salt Lake is a valuable example of an inland or athalassic saline lake, with a considerable variety of saline habitats around its margin and in adjacent slightly saline boggy depressions. The lake is situated in one of the few areas in New Zealand where conditions favour saline lakes (i.e. where precipitation is lower than evaporation). An endemic aquatic animal, Ephydrella novaezealandiae, is present, and there is an interesting pattern of vegetation zonation. Physical features: Sutton Salt Lake is a natural, inland or athalassic saline lake with an average depth of 30 cm and a salinity of 15%. The lake has no known inflow or outflow. The soils are saline and alkaline at the lake margin (sodium-saturated clays), and surrounded by yellow-grey earths and dry subdygrous Matarae. The parent material is loess. Shallow boggy depressions exist near the lake, and there is a narrow fringe of salt tolerant vegetation at the lake margin. Algal communities are present, and often submerged by lake water. The average annual rainfall is about 480 mm, while annual evaporation is about 710 mm. Ecological features: Sutton Salt Lake is one of only five examples of inland saline habitats of botanical value in Central Otago. This is the only area in New Zealand which is suitable for the existence of this habitat, since in general rainfall is high, evaporation is low, and endorheic drainage systems are absent.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • SEABIRDS RECORDED at the CHATHAM ISLANDS, 1960 to MAY 1993 by M.J
    SEABIRDS RECORDED AT THE CHATHAM ISLANDS, 1960 TO MAY 1993 By M.J. IMBER Science and Research Directorate, Department of Conservation, P. 0. Box 10420, Wellington ABSTRACT Between 1960 and hlay 1993,62 species of seabirds were recorded at Chatham Islands, including 43 procellariiforms, 5 penguins, 5 pelecaniforms, and 9 hi.Apart &om the 24 breeding species, there were 14 regular visitors, 13 stragglers, 2 rarely seen on migration, and 9 found only beach-cast or as other remains. There is considerable endemism: 8 species or subspecies are confined, or largely confined, to breeding at the Chathams. INTRODUCTION The Chatham Islands (44OS, 176.5OW) are about 900 km east of New Zealand, and 560 km and 720 km respectively north-east of Bounty and Antipodes Islands. The Chatham Islands lie on the Subtropical Convergence (Fleming 1939) - the boundary between subtropical and subantarctic water masses; near the eastern end of the Chatham Rise - a shallow (4'500 m) submarine ridge extending almost to the New Zealand mainland. Chatham Island seabirds can feed over large areas of four marine habitats: the continental shelf of the Chatham Rise; the continental slope around it; and subtropical and subantarctic waters to the north, east, and south. The Chatham Islands' fauna and flora have, however, been very adversely affected by human colonisation for about 500 years (B. McFadgen, pers. cornrn.). Knowledge of the seabird fauna of the Chatham Islands gained up to 1960 is siunmarised in Oliver (1930), Fleming (1939), Dawson (1955, 1973), and papers quoted therein. The present paper summarises published and unpublished data on the seabirds of the archipelago from 1960 to May 1993, from when visits to these islands depended on infrequent passages by ship from Lyttelton, South Island, to the present, when a visit involves a 2-h scheduled flight from Napier, Wellington, or Christchurch, six dayslweek.

Wildlife Management International Ltd PO Box 607 Blenheim 7240 New Zealand www.wmil.co.nz Chatham Island Taiko Trust PO Box 2 Chatham Island 8942 www.taiko.org.nz This report was prepared by Wildlife Management International Limited and the Chatham Island Taiko Trust for the Department of Conservation as partial fulfilment of the contract POP2016-01 Seabird Population research: Chatham Islands 2016-17 dated October 2016. June 2017 Citation: This report should be cited as: Bell, M.D.; Bell, D.J.; Boyle, D.P.; Tuanui-Chisholm, H. 2017. Chatham Island Shag census 2014-2016. Technical report to the Department of Conservation. All photographs in this Report are copyright © WMIL unless otherwise credited, in which case the person or organization credited is the copyright holder. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annual aerial surveys to count the breeding population of Chatham Island shags were carried out during the 2014, 2015 and 2016 breeding seasons. Each season two aerial surveys of all colonies were undertaken, with an additional early flight in 2016 to count the colonies in Te Whanga Lagoon. The number of Chatham Island shags was estimated at 856 breeding pairs, found in 13 breeding colonies. This result is very similar to that recorded in 1997 (842 pairs) but significantly higher than counts from 2003 and 2011. Methodology was the same in the 1997 and 2014-2016 counts and suggest the Chatham Island shag population has been stable for the last 20 years.
