Greater Wellington carries out coastal monitoring at a range of beach, estuary, harbour and rocky shore sites throughout the region. Monitoring has typically focussed on the impact and accumulation of urban stormwater contaminants and sediment in estuaries and harbours, as these are our most vulnerable depositional environments. Representative beach and rocky shore habitats are surveyed periodically with results available in past reports.
Monitoring and assessment of two sites each in the Onepoto and Pāuatahanui arms of the estuary - January 2020
Monitoring of the harbour bed for sediment movement, accretion and/or erosion - May 2019
Catchment sediment monitoring findings at nine intertidal and nine subtidal sites - January 2020
Assessments of dominant substrate and vegetation features present in the estuary - January 2020
Monitoring and assessment of opportunistic macroalgal cover in the Hutt Estuary - January 2020
