The programmes undertaken are extremely
wide-ranging and include national bird counts,
water quality measurement, pest free
programmes, wetland restoration, intertidal
diversity studies and lizard monitoring. I
expect schools to hear more about and have
greater involvement with citizen science in the
next few years.

categories was almost half that of the previous season. Of note, very few high counts were
recorded during the 2010-2011 season. Fewer exceedances of MfE guidelines (‘Alert’ and
‘Action’) modes were coincidental with drier early season conditions and a reduction in
dairy shed pond systems treated wastes discharge rates noted from field inspections during
that time.

the national bathing guideline, and this is a lower rate of non-compliance than in the
previous two years. Of the 14% of samples that exceeded the guideline, 10% arose from just
two sites- the two New Plymouth urban sites. Bird life was mainly responsible for the
exceedances at these sites, where on occasions recreationalists have fed the birds.
Two sites recorded all single samples in either the ‘Alert’ or the ‘Action’ mode of the MfE,
