Summary
Unpublished report to the Bay of Plenty Catchment Commission and Regional Water Board. The ecology of Ohiwa Harbour is discussed in this report, with descriptions of major habitats, the distribution and abundance of edible shellfish, the ecological importance of the Harbour to bird and fish species, the distribution of algae and ecological changes occurring within the Harbour. Threats to the harbour ecosystem, particularly through increased sedimentation, are discussed, and recommendations for future management are made. The report covers most aspects of harbour ecology very well, but is very old so the data cannot be relied upon.
