Summary
Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) commissioned NIWA to analyse the sea-level gauges within the Tauranga Harbour, comparing them with the long-term NIWA gauge on Moturiki Island (open coast). The main purpose of the study was to provide extreme storm-tide parameters for calibration of hydrodynamic storm-inundation modelling of Tauranga Harbour, and to provide localised sea level rise parameters for Tauranga Harbour for future coastal-hazard studies.
