However the fundamental approach <strong>for</strong> controlling the effects of sedimentation will be to restrict the duration<br />

of works in the drain to an absolute minimum as to avoid fish spawning and migration periods and reduce the<br />

impacts of sediment in the drain.<br />

The re-vegetation of the <strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain will help to preserve the preserve the ecological values of the<br />

receiving drains and rivers and flora and fauna of this drain should be able to establish quickly after<br />

construction has been completed.<br />

Tauranga Harbour and surrounding lands <strong>for</strong>m the traditional rohe of Ngaiterangi Iwi known as “Mai i nga Kuri<br />

a Wharei ki Wairakei.” Hapu of Ngaiterangi maintains strong local communities which are dependent on<br />

maintenance of the life-supporting capacity of the harbour and surrounding land. Maintenance of kaimoana<br />

and coastal <strong>water</strong> quality is particularly important. Tauranga Moana is rich in cultural heritage sites <strong>for</strong><br />

Ngaiterangi and other iwi. Many of the sites are of significance to Ngaiterangi te Iwi, while others are<br />

significant to specific hapu. In addition to the harbour itself the following places have particular significance<br />

<strong>for</strong> Ngaiterangi:<br />

• Te Tahuna o Rangataua (Rangataua Bay)<br />
