2.2.3 Kaimoana surveys
Prior to the establishment of Port Taranaki’s inshore dredge disposal site, there was concern from the
general public and local iwi that sand inundation from the dredging would affect kaimoana gathering from
the local reefs. Sand inundation on rocky reefs can adversely affect animals such as pāua and kina by
reducing
widely recognised to contain a broad range of values that contribute to
the natural character, indigenous biodiversity, amenity and recreational values across the
wider coastal marine area.

dairy, meat and wood) with a value of around $2.2 billion. Gas is an important

Alterations to monitoring programmes for 2024/25
In designing and implementing the monitoring programmes for air/water discharges in the region, the
