existing knowledge of other subtidal reef systems within TRC’s management region (territorial sea).
This new knowledge helps fill in major fundamental gaps around coastal habitats and associated
ecological assemblages, which fall under TRCs management responsibilities.

There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to
