Taranaki Iwi coastline. Although access to many of the age old fishing spots for piharau has become a
challenge, many are still caught in the months of June, July and August by Taranaki Iwi families.
Relatively high rainfall up on the mountain quickly drains through these river systems, contributing to high water

Council’s Director-
Environment Quality, Gary Bedford. “The coastal sites look
even better.”
He says that while the word ‘swimmability’ rolls easily off
the tongue, the concept is fraught with complications and
questions. “A river in full flood and laden with debris after
heavy rainfall could never be sensibly regarded as
swimmable, no matter what the bacteria levels may be.”
He also says it’s important to note that E. coli are simply an
indicator of a potential risk
substrate combined with low rainfall at the beach
would be restricting the production of leachate from the green waste.

The dry start to 2015, followed by a brief spell of intense rainfall in
early February, highlighted the importance of sound dairy effluent
management practices.
“We’re finding a few common pitfalls that can lead to non-compliance
with dairy effluent discharge consent conditions during abnormally dry
