Monitoring programme, subzone A, AMA 1, Golden Bay

A proposed 5-yearly benthic monitoring plan was developed to satisfy the resource consent conditions for RM100973, that covers the thirteen 4 ha spat farms within subzone A, AMA1, in Golden Bay (Grange 2011). Subsequently, the Tasman District Council has modified the consent conditions for the 8 “consented” marine farms and is reviewing the 12 “Collingwood” farms in the same block. Accordingly, it seems sensible to combine the monitoring protocols and timing of surveys and reporting for all farms in the entire subzone. This short report is designed to confirm the approach detailed by Grange (2011), but to modify the sampling to cover the entire subzone A, not just the 13 spat sites. This report should be read in conjunction with Grange (2011), a copy of which is appended, to avoid repetition. (Grange, K.R. 2011. Monitoring programme, Golden Bay spat farms. NIWA Client Report NEL2011-016, prepared for Golden Bay Marine Farmers’ Consortium.10 p.) The monitoring plan includes a range of methods, including side-scan sonar, grabs, and drop camera/video images, and assessment of specified macro-invertebrates.
