EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) has commissioned Cawthron Institute to provide a desktop
investigation for the assessment of outstanding and sensitive substrates/benthic habitats and
threatened marine taxa in the Taranaki coastal marine area (TCMA), with particular
emphasis on the less well known offshore areas. In order to address tier-one of the
investigation, the Ocean Biogeographic information System (OBIS) online database

This issue looks closely at what a visit to the
Rotokare Scenic Reserve offers teachers and
their classes. While there are similar exciting

Jacobson is pictured with one of the kiwi
chicks currently staying at the reserve.

Remediation (NZ) is seeking renewal of the consents it holds from the Taranaki Regional
Council (TRC) for their worm farm and composting operation in the Uruti Valley.
Remediation (NZ) Ltd is a company specialising in organic fertiliser production and sales,
supplying organic fertiliser to both organic and conventional farmers.

Already, much has been achieved on the Taranaki ring plain
and coastal terraces. The region has a world-scale Riparian
Management Programme thanks to a long-standing
partnership between farmers and the Taranaki Regional
Council. More than 3.5 million plants have gone into the
ground, 80% of streambanks in the programme are now
fenced and 65% are protected with vegetation.
The Draft Fresh Water and Land Plan seeks to ‘lock in’
completion of this programme by 2020.
