- Summary
- Environment Waikato's Regional Estuary Monitoring Programme was initiated in April 2001, to determine the current status and monitor the temporal changes in the state of the Region’s estuaries. The monitoring programme samples sediments and associated macro-invertebrate communities at five permanent sites in each of two estuaries: the Firth of Thames, and Raglan (Whaingaroa) Harbour. In this report, the data collected from April 2001 to April 2006, was analysed to assess the current status and temporal changes in the health of the estuaries during this time.
