- Summary
- The continuance of problematic and historically unprecedented erosion issues located within this coastal ecosystem persist solely at the distal north-western extremity of Ōmaro spit, now aggravated even further by impacts from January 2022’s ex-Tropical Cyclone Cody. This eroding area has previously received wholly inadequate attention for appropriate diligent restoration of beneficial natural foredune and beach accretion processes over at least the preceding decade. Such simple and affordable remedial activities have demonstrably increased the functional dune width and storm resilience of other nearby Matarangi littoral ecosystems, adjacent to the main beach, Matarangi for example.
