Additionally, the Taranaki region has historically experienced 1.5± 0.1 mm/year rate of sea level rise (SLR) which is expected to increase in coming years with continued climate change, resulting in higher overall water levels contributing to these issues. The combination of all these factors identifies the foreshore of Weld Road Beach as a dynamic coastal environment with significantly variable beach levels. 2.7 Streams

Caution is advised when interpreting absolute values estimated for specific locations with spatial water quality models, due to the associated uncertainty. Models such as these
