In December 2000, a regime for monitoring the ecological condition and trend of the estuary was set up on contract for the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council by Geoff Walls. This was done using the experience gained in establishing a similar monitoring regime in Pekapeka Swamp in 1998, and in Whakaki Lagoon, Lake Poukawa and Lake Hatuma in 1999. It also had the benefit of the local knowledge of Department of Conservation staff. Baseline surveys of vegetation and fauna were carried out at the same time.
The results of the baseline survey and monitoring establishment were reported on (Waitangi Estuary Ecological Monitoring, December 2000). A companion report provided more background information and formed a plan for ongoing monitoring (Waitangi Estuary Ecological Monitoring Plan, December 2000). Hawke's Bay Regional Council produced a management plan for Waitangi Estuary in May 2002 (Cheyne & Addenbrooke, 2002). Ecological monitoring is factored into that plan.
In late November 2002, the estuary was revisited and the monitoring carried out for the second time, to determine the ecological condition and trend after two years. This document reports on the findings.
