sample collected on 10 March 2016 (380 cfu/100 ml) i.e. two consecutive samples exceeded 280 cfu/100 ml. It had not rained for the few days preceding and conductivity of the sample taken on 8 March 2016 (4690 mS/m) did not indicate strong freshwater influence. King high tides occurred on both dates (3.6 m 8 March, 3.9 m 10 March). In previous years certain high counts at the two Waitara beach sites were also associted with king tides (e.g. Waitara East Beach: 250 cfu/100 ml 3.8 m high tide on
they still looked great. He was assisted from time to time by Graham and Karen. The weather was kind, but there were a few surprises. It did not rain for ten days and much of the place needed irrigating, particularly the nursery, and at times the irrigation system was subject to malfunction.

previous monitoring carried out between 2016 and 2020 that show PM2.5 concentrations are consistently very low at the Central School site. 25. Under MfE’s grading criteria, 96% of daily mean concentrations measured at the site achieved either an ‘excellent’ or a ‘good’ grading across the 2016 to 2021 period, with all but one day of the remaining 4% falling into the ‘Acceptable’ category. 26. The annual mean concentration of PM2.5 at the Central School site across the 2016-2021 period was 4
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 sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with the beach building process. Active dunelands exist at some of the larger river mouths and dominate the
