Waituna Lagoon has been identified as having a high risk of nutrient, sedimentation, pathogen and, to a lesser extent, habitat loss problems (Johnson & Partridge 1998, Thompson & Ryder 2003, Cadmus & Schallenberg 2007, Schallenberg & Tyrrell 2007). ES contracted Wriggle Coastal Management (Wriggle) to undertake an Ecological Vulnerability Assessment (see Stevens and Robertson 2007) to determine monitoring and management priorities, and a series of monitoring studies in February/ March 2007 to provide a baseline against which change can be measured. The present report summarises the results of the 2007 monitoring for Waituna Lagoon. - Overview
