- Overview Since 2010, Greater Wellington Regional Council has undertaken annual State of the Environment (SOE) monitoring of sediment indicators in Waikanae Estuary to assess trends in the deposition rate, mud content, and oxygenation of intertidal sediments. This work was repeated on 22 January 2018 and this report card summarises the monitoring results including baseline data from two newly established sites (B and C) in the upper estuary.
