  Benthic monitoring survey for a marine farm: Beacon Rock, Banks Peninsula

To satisfy resource consent conditions at a mussel farm site near Beacon Rock and Blind Bay, Banks Peninsula, Sanford LTD commissioned NIWA to conduct a benthic monitoring survey. Sampling for this project included a benthic grab and benthic sled to obtain samples to describe sediment physicochemical characteristics, and benthic assemblages at sample sites established along transects extending to the northwest, north and east of the farm block.
