Bay of Plenty Coastal and Estuarine Soft Shore Monitoring Programme

Biological monitoring of harbours and estuaries within the Bay of Plenty region for Environment Bay of Plenty. Sampling sites are include Tauranga and Ohiwa Harbours.

Sampling frequency = annual (summer).

Sampling began in 1990 and is ongoing.

Number of sites = 50 total, currently only 21 of these are monitored.

Extent of site = Sites at low tide mark. In estuaries: 4 blocks along 45m transect and on exposed sandy shores: 5 blocks along 60m transect. Blocks are 25m2 (5m x5m) each. Number of replicates = 6 per block.

Measured variables = Infaunal communities (species identified to lowest taxonomic level possible and enumerated).

Sampling protocol & QA = Internal protocol. Based on a Nested analysis of variance design (see Park (2000): Benthic Macrofauna Monitoring. Environmental Report 2000/15, July 2000. Environment Bay of Plenty) and similar to Auckland Council.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Quality assurance was imposed on methods.

Geographic data used NZTM (LINZ). Temporal data were in NZST.

Data collection information: Infaunal core = 150mm tall x 130mm diameter for estuaries, 250mm tall x 130mm diameter for exposed beaches

Origin from which minimum and maximum values are measured: chart datum
