This dashboard shows the result of macroinvertebrate sampling at this site. It displays three measures, macroinvertebrate community index, taxanomic richness and percent EPT.
If 'N/A' is showing, there are not enough data to calculate a 5-year median. You can select the 'Show more information+' box under each measure to see the available historic data.
The Cawthron Institute has worked alongside regional councils to verify the processes and methods used for macroinvertebrate data collection, processing of the data in the laboratory, quality control in the field and laboratory and the statistical analysis and interpretation of the results presented.
For more details on each tick, see our 'Can I Trust this Data' Factsheet.
Macroinvertebrates are sampled at this site as part of council's stream health monitoring programme, as recommended by proposed national guidelines.
Macroinvertebrate sampling is done annually or more frequently at this site as recommended by proposed national guidelines. Therefore, data shown here follow current best practice guidelines.
This site is a hard-bottomed site and appropriate sampling protocols have been applied. Data shown here have been collected using current best-practice.
Macroinvertebrate sampling is done in riffle habitat at this site. Data shown here are therefore following best practice.
This council does not collect any macroinvertebrate samples for up to two weeks after a flood greater than three times the median flow as recommended by proposed national guidelines. Therefore, data collected at this site is following best practice.
Samples at this site have been processed following sampling potocols P2 or P3 and data have been processed following best practice.
Field data collected at this site had no quality control applied to it.
Data processed at this site has had no laboratory quality control applied. Data shown here is less robust than data with no laboratory QC applied and conclusions based on this data need to be treated with caution.
