This is not good news for our native fish. Twenty-four streams on Banks Peninsula are assessed each year as part of Environment Canterbury’s Aquatic Ecosystem Health programme. When the variable results were presented to the zone committee last November questions arose about why some streams appeared to be deteriorating, including streams such as Waimawete at Allendale (Living Springs) and Te Wharau in Charteris Bay, both of which are now fenced and well vegetated for most of their length, from hilltop to harbour. Each year the zone committee invests $100,000 of Immediate Steps funding on Banks Peninsula, mostly on fencing to exclude stock and riparian planting along POOR QUALITY: Peraki Stream looks healthy but is classified as poor to very poor in recent aquatic ecosytem health monitoring. streams on private land. Committee members expected to see improvements in aquatic ecosystem health in catchments which are now well protected. At our recent March meeting ECan chief scientist Tim Davie explained what can be learned by looking at the detailed macroinvertebrate data. In both Waimawete and Te Wharau Streams macro-invertebrate diversity is very low. The few species which are present are those known to be tolerant of sediment. Many of the invertebrates you would expect to find in a healthy stream cannot survive and reproduce where there is sediment coating the stream bed. Mr Davie concluded that while the fencing and planting in these two catchments is likely to be contributing to a significant reduction of sediment entering the streams, it may take some years before we see the full diversity of macro-invertebrates typical of a healthy aquatic ecosystem restored, especially at the lower reaches of the streams. •Anyone interested in checking out monitoring results for their local stream can find the results on the LAWA website at www. LAWA.org.nz PROBLEM: Flooding in Redcliffs Park caused by rainfall run-off in March, 2014. We said: Regenerate Christchurch goes against city council advice over flood hazard at Redcliffs Park You said: Gill Hubert – How do they intend to quickly move 500 children in the case of a tsunami? Adele Robyn – How bloody ridiculous. The school will be crying out for money one day to protect it from flooding. That’s the worst place to put a school with rising sea levels and tsunami risk. Brenda Te Koeti – Why does the city council allow building in unsafe areas? Mykel Holmes – Sure the council has shown how much of a joke and how incapable they are time and time again over the past year or two. Road layouts and cycle lanes speak for themselves with the constant set backs and report after report on anything else. Worst thing is they seem to be able to legally rob the town and line their pockets without being held accountable. JOIN US NOW!
