studies undertaken in the late 1980s by
the Taranaki Catchment Commission showed that the entire Taranaki coastline is eroding at
long term average rates between 0.05 m/year and 1.89 m/year with exceptions at the Patea
and Stony (Hangatahua) river mouths where the coast was accreting. Erosion rates differ at
different locations, primarily due to differences around the coast in geology, coastal
orientation, proximity to river mouths and matters such as dune management.
Recalculating erosion
Trend
analysis has been carried out using the LWP-Trends library R package (version 1901), developed by Land
Water People Ltd. (Snelder and Fraser, 2019). The methods employed have the primary purpose of
establishing the direction and rate of any trend, along with a measure of the uncertainty in the result. Trend
analysis is undertaken using the last 10 years of monitoring data (1 July 2010 to 30 June 2020) when the
following criteria have been satisfied:
