Download Northland Sediment Study: Whangarei Harbour Sediment Budget

The aim of the Northland Sediment Study is to develop a model that will integrate science and economics to assess the potential economic costs of meeting a range of attribute states for sediment and E. coli in Whangarei Harbour and freshwater environments that drain into Whangarei Harbour.This report develops a sediment budget for Whangarei Harbour from which AASR in a number of individual depositional basins may be evaluated. The precise method for evaluating AASR from the sediment budget is given.
