The ecological health of Taranaki’s waterways continues to improve, building further on strong gains in recent years, the Taranaki Regional Council’s latest monitoring results show.
Ecological health is the Council’s prime measure of freshwater quality and is assessed by examining what sort of tiny creatures are living in waterways. The latest report is based on analyses of samples taken in the 2015-16 year at almost 60 sites on 26 rivers and streams across the region, and on trends derived from the results of all sampling since 1995.
