NIWA Ecosystems publicationSummary: The submerged vegetation of a number of lakes in the South Island was surveyed in early 1992 using a standardised SCUBA survey technique, to identify scientific or ecological values in support of an application for a Water Conservation Order for the Kawarau River Catchment. Previously unpublished data from a 1982 survey of the submerged vegetation of Lake Wakatipu is presented and used as baseline data against which the 1992 survey is compared. This report represents the first detailed description of the submerged vegetation of lakes Wakatipu, Lochnagar, Moke, Dispute and Alta, and identifies a number of exceptional or unique vegetation attributes. Although the five lakes varied considerably in size, depth, altitude, water clarity, vegetation abundance, species diversity, and maximum plant depths, all the lakes had a predominantly native submerged flora. Such native dominated submerged plant communities are becoming increasingly rare in New Zealand.
