(Adapted from Fuller, J. E. (2018).) Examples The Rangitata River Water Conservation Order (2006) was created in part to recognise and protect the iconic braided character of the river – its natural form and character and the habitat it provides. It includes the clause: 9 Restrictions on alteration of river flows and form (1) No resource consent may be granted or rule included in a regional plan that will cause the material alteration of the channel cross-section, or meandering pattern, or braided river channel characteristics of the form of any river specified in Schedule 2. While this clause has not prevented encroachment, it provides an example of the wording that could be used in objectives and policies to guide the development of appropriate target attribute states and rule frameworks. Case studies The ecological effects of bed re-levelling on the Wairio Stream This case study demonstrates the impact that drainage maintenance can have on freshwater species, if appropriate habitat is not provided for during and after works. Environment Southland undertook a project to lower the Wairio Stream bed after local landowners complained about impeded drainage. The streambed had aggraded, resulting in backed up water at many adjacent farmland outlets. Monitoring pre and post work to determine the ecological impacts of the re-levelling activity found that the overall fish abundance, the number of brown trout (particularly adult trout) and the number of longfin eels had all significantly declined. The likely cause for large brown trout decline is the re-levelling and removal of deeper pool and run habitat and the creation of more long, shallow, homogenous runs from the works. For future drain re-levelling projects, it was recommended that ‘some deep water habitat is created during the works, and that patches of large woody material are added to the channel to provide some habitat diversity’ (Dare & Allibone, 2016). Can non-native perch support native eel populations in wetland complex? This case study demonstrates that non-native perch are providing food for native fish populations in a wetland environment. Research was conducted to explore the potential benefits that non-native perch (Perca fluviatilis) may provide to native fish populations – the endemic longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) and the native shortfin eel (Anguilla australis). Although it is well recognised that non-native fish can become invasive and outcompete and displace native fish populations, this research found that in a wetland comprising both native and non-native species (Rakatu wetland), eel population density was three times higher than a neighbouring wetland which only contained native fish (Redcliff wetland). Young-of-the-year perch comprised ca. 40% of the eels’ diet at Rakatu wetland. At Redcliff wetland, juvenile eel density was four times lower, suggesting cannibalism may be occurring to support the existing eel population, and the presence of perch in a wetland may reduce eel cannibalism. The research suggested that ‘freshwater managers consider the predator-prey dynamics of both native and non-native fish before removing non-native species, to avoid unintended negative consequences for native predatory fish species’ (Steward et al., 2023).

Where a combination of these information sources exists, they should all be utilised to facilitate holistic decision-making. It is important to recognise that the guidance provided above is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Different outcomes and decisions may require a customised approach to prioritising certain sources of information. Context plays a crucial role in determining which approaches is more appropriate when prioritising information on particular decisions. It is essential to establish a clear and transparent rationale for adopting a specific approach to ensure clarity and understanding by everyone involved in, and affected by, the decision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64acc82838608b72c75dbff0/39d4ae94-1c7f-4b32-aa4a-10b585003af4/What+do+we+want+to+see+table-3.png Practice Notes - ‘Best Information Available’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.waigoodpolicy.org.nz/practice-notes/protecting-waterbodies monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64acc82838608b72c75dbff0/7bfb9ce0-cfbf-47a9-bd55-ec04358cf62f/MfE+NOF+image.PNG Practice Notes - Protecting water bodies & freshwater ecosystem health - Diagram outlining the connection between key components required to implement the NPS-FM.
