Recently, ES have added Waituna Lagoon (1,350ha), a gbscoastal lakegcs type estuary, and its associated wetland (~2,200ha), centred in Toetoes Bay in Eastern Southland, to its long-term monitoring programme. As 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 to undertake two studies: 1. A series of broad scale mapping and sedimentation studies (see Stevens & Robertson 2007). 2. An Ecological Vulnerability Assessment to determine monitoring and management priorities (this report). - Exec. summary
