significant proportion of Taranaki’s economy is driven by the
oil and gas (O&G) industry. All of the nation’s commercially
producing fields are in the region, as well as the supporting
production and processing facilities, specialist infrastructure,
power stations and supply chains. The national and global
demand for energy is increasing and Taranaki is at the centre
of this capital and technology-intensive expansion.
But the benefits from the O&G industry don’t just fall on the

119,103 hectares. Of these, 132 are either
totally or partly on private land and cover 9,277
hectares.
Under certain conditions, when a KNE falls
wholly or partly on private land, landowners
can receive free advice and assistance for
protecting and enhancing indigenous
biodiversity in the site. This can include a Council-developed biodiversity plan.
Recommendations in biodiversity plans usually cover actions such as

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 the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this
