This report provides updated wood availability forecasts and associated commentary for the Canterbury wood supply region. Both have been produced in association with the region's major forest owners, forest industry leaders and forest consultants. The forecasts show the range of harvest volumes potentially available from the planted forest estate of large and small-scale growers in the period to 2040.

This report provides updated wood availability forecasts and associated commentary for the Otago/Southland wood supply region. Both have been produced in association with the region's major forest owners, forest industry leaders and forest consultants. The forecasts show the range of harvest volumes potentially available from the planted forest estate of large and small-scale growers in the period to 2040.

To assist with regional planning, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has compiled wood availability forecasts for the Nelson/Marlborough region covering the period 2007 to 2040. This report presents a number of future wood availability scenarios, which show that the increases in wood availability will mainly depend on the harvesting decisions of the large number of mall-scale forest growers that are concentrated in Marlborough.

This document summarises the status of New Zealand’s fish stocks relative to the requirements of the Harvest Strategy Standard for New Zealand Fisheries, which was finalised in October 2008. Assessments against other metrics are documented in the annual review reports associated with the Ministry’s Fisheries Plans.

A summary of project progress

Environmental effects of consented activities are best managed if a strategic direction for aquaculture in the Southland region is established prior to the commencement of resource consent applications for new aquaculture space is considered. The schedule of this project is designed to make the high level strategic direction available for the critical early stages of future aquaculture development in the Southland region.

This coastal project is designed to contribute towards gaining a better understanding of the marine physical and biological characteristics of the Pelorus and Outer Marlborough Sounds.

This report sets out the overall conclusions and findings from our assurance work auditing the systems that Future Forests Research Limited (FFR) has in place for managing funding received from the Ministry for Primary Industry for the Steepland Harvesting project.

Waikato Regional Council is currently developing a guidance document for the aquaculture industry and other stakeholders in its region. The document aims to provide clear information on environmental monitoring requirements for aquaculture consents, as well as a methodology for integrating consent and state of the environment monitoring.
