  • 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.

  • THE IMPORTANCE of INFREQUENT EARTHQUAKES ALONG the ALPINE FAULT by Andrew Wells
    LANDSCAPE DISTURBANCE HISTORY IN WESTLAND, NEW ZEALAND: THE IMPORTANCE OF INFREQUENT EARTHQUAKES ALONG THE ALPINE FAULT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andrew Wells Lincoln University 1998 ii ABSTRACT Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy LANDSCAPE DISTURBANCE HISTORY IN WESTLAND, NEW ZEALAND: THE IMPORTANCE OF INFREQUENT EARTHQUAKES ALONG THE ALPINE FAULT by Andrew Wells This thesis investigates landscape disturbance history in Westland since 1350 AD. Specifically, I test the hypothesis that large-magnitude regional episodes of natural disturbance have periodically devastated portions of the landscape and forest, and that these were caused by infrequent earthquakes along the Alpine Fault. Forest stand history reconstruction was used to determine the timing and extent of erosion and sedimentation events that initiated new forest cohorts in a 1412 ha study area in the Karangarua River catchment, south Westland. Over 85 % of the study area was disturbed sufficiently by erosion/sedimentation since 1350 AD to initiate new forest cohorts. During this time four episodes of catchment-wide disturbance impacted the study area, and these took place about 1825 AD ± 5 years (Ruera episode), 1715 AD ± 5 years (Sparkling episode), 1615 AD ± 5 years (McTaggart episode), and 1445 AD ± 15 years (Junction episode). The three most recent episodes disturbed 10 %, 35-40 % and 32-50 % respectively of the study area. The Junction episode disturbed at least 6 % of the study area, but elimination of evidence by more recent disturbances prevented an upper limit being defined.

Chemical weathering of silicate rocks draws down CO2 from the atmosphere, but the significance of this process and the mechanisms which control weathering rates remain poorly constrained.

    247 DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF BROWSING MAMMALS IN WESTLAND NATIONAL PARK IN 1978, AND SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THEIR IMPACT ON THE VEGETATION C J. PEKELHARING and R. N. REYNOLDS* Protection Forestry Division, Forest Research Institute, P.O. Box 31-011, Christchurch, New Zealand (Received for publication 8 July 1983; revision 7 November 1983) ABSTRACT The high country forests and scrublands of Westland National Park were surveyed by means of pellet lines during the 1977-78 summer to determine the distribution and abundance of the larger introduced mammals. The extent of canopy defoliation in the upper montane forest zone of the Park was also assessed. Brush-tailed possums (Trichosurus vulpecula Kerr) were present throughout the Park with the exception of the headwaters of the Karangarua, Douglas, and Regina catchments. Highest pellet densities were recorded in the mid and upper montane forests and in the northern and southern portions of the Park (in the lower reaches of the Callery and Karangarua catchments). Possums were still in the process of colonising the lower southern bank of the Copland catchment and the upper half and lower northern bank of the Karangarua catchment. Red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) pellet densities were highest in the forested zone of the lower Karangarua catchment and decreasd towards its headwaters and northwards. Numbers in the Cook catchment were low and no deer pellets were recorded in the study area north of this catchment. Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.) pellets were recorded throughout the Park with highest densities around timber line in the upper forest and scrub zones. Highest pellet densities were recorded in the headwaters and lower northern bank of the Karangarua catchment and in the Callery catchment.

  • Effects of Large Deep-Seated Landslides on Hillslope Morphology, Western Southern Alps, New Zealand
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 111, F01018, doi:10.1029/2004JF000242, 2006 Effects of large deep-seated landslides on hillslope morphology, western Southern Alps, New Zealand Oliver Korup1 Received 28 September 2004; revised 21 October 2005; accepted 12 December 2005; published 14 March 2006. [1] Morphometric analysis and air photo interpretation highlight geomorphic imprints of large landslides (i.e., affecting 1km2) on hillslopes in the western Southern Alps (WSA), New Zealand. Large landslides attain kilometer-scale runout, affect >50% of total basin relief, and in 70% are slope clearing, and thus relief limiting. Landslide terrain shows lower mean local relief, relief variability, slope angles, steepness, and concavity than surrounding terrain. Measuring mean slope angle smoothes out local landslide morphology, masking any relationship between large landslides and possible threshold hillslopes. Large failures also occurred on low-gradient slopes, indicating persistent low- frequency/high-magnitude hillslope adjustment independent of fluvial bedrock incision. At the basin and hillslope scale, slope-area plots partly constrain the effects of landslides on geomorphic process regimes. Landslide imprints gradually blend with relief characteristics at orogen scale (102 km), while being sensitive to length scales of slope failure, topography, sampling, and digital elevation model resolution. This limits means of automated detection, and underlines the importance of local morphologic contrasts for detecting large landslides in the WSA. Landslide controls on low-order drainage include divide lowering and shifting, formation of headwater basins and hanging valleys, and stream piracy. Volumes typically mobilized, yet still stored in numerous deposits despite high denudation rates, are >107 m3, and theoretically equal to 102 years of basin-wide debris production from historic shallow landslides; lack of absolute ages precludes further estimates.
