- Summary
- This document has been produced to answer a number of issues raised by local residents concerning ongoing gravel removal from four mining licence sites along the Blaketown-Karoro-Paroa coastline. The discussion below is based on visits to this coastline on a number of times over the last year by NIWA coastal staff, review of available documents relating to the mining activities and of the beach processes operating along this coastline, and discussions with WCRC staff and a number of concerned local residents.
