- Summary
- This study looked at the sedimentation history and present day sedimentation processes in the Mahurangi Estuary, to determine how the estuary has responded to historical changes in catchment sediment loads, associated with landcover changes following human settlement. The results serve as a guide to assessing how the Mahurangi Estuary will cope with future catchment development
