the plants are adapted to
the conditions and therefore grow well, as

riparian management.
In the zone next to the water’s edge (Zone
C) low growing plants with their growing
points at the base (flax, toetoe, carex) are
best as they can cope with flooding. The
leaves bend with the flow of
migration. A hanging
fence or floodgate (Fig 5) will be needed to
stop stock from wandering along the

High natural character:
Section 4 of the LVEA Addendum is summarised as follows:
The LVEA peer review highlights that an assumption cannot be made about the Regional landscape
study not identifying high natural character. However, on the Coastal Plan maps 2023, the areas in
question are not identified as having high natural character. Therefore, it is not appropriate for this to
be considered as part of the conclusion of the review.
Conclusion:
Based on the comments above, we do not
arrived
on ocean currents from Australia.
Sea spurge infestations have caused
major environmental problems
at many Australian beaches by
displacing native plants and changing
natural patterns of sand movement.
What we are doing
Biosecurity New Zealand, the
Department of Conservation, Waikato
Regional Council and Taranaki
Regional Council are working together
on an eradication programme to stop
sea spurge from establishing in those
regions. The programme is focused
