- Summary
- This study aims to establish the role of nutrients in contributing to mangrove expansion in different estuaries as well as in specific areas within each of those estuaries. Case study estuaries were Whangamata, Whangapoua and Tauranga, with the inclusion of additional information from a previous study by NIWA for the Whitford embayment. Purpose: To determine if there is any evidence of anthropogenically derived nutrient additions enhancing the rate of spread of mangroves.
