This dataset was last updated on MfE Data Service on 24 Jul 2019.
This dataset provides boundaries for catchments that drain to the sea (i.e. sea draining catchments).
It is extracted from the Freshwater Ecosystems of New Zealand (FENZ) v1.0 geodatabase. Ministry for the Environment hosts this copy of this layer for convenience and visibility. For all inquiries please contact Department of Conservation directly.
FENZ requires specialist GIS knowledge for its technical operation and biodiversity knowledge for understanding the content. Because of FENZ’s complexity, DOC is providing advice, briefings and training (where possible) to ensure users understand its strengths, limitations and appropriate applications.
If you would like more information about FENZ or access to any FENZ data sets, email fenz@doc.govt.nz.

This dataset was first added to MfE Data Service on 20 Sep 2019.
This dataset shows land that would be covered by the option 1 of section 8.4 Immediate action to reduce nitrogen loss.
This web map has been developed by the Ministry for the Environment to support policy proposals in the Action for Healthy Waterways discussion document. The proposals are currently being consulted on.
It provides extra detail on Option 1 in section 8.4 of the discussion document (Immediate action to reduce nitrogen loss). The map indicates the pastoral catchments and sub-catchments specified as high-nitrate in Option 1, where regional rules are not already in place or proposed, and shows the land considered to be low-slope.
Low-slope is defined in this option as land parcels with an average slope of less than 5, 7 or 10 degrees. We are seeking feedback on the appropriate slope threshold to use.
The catchments are those with the highest 10% of nitrate levels in the MfE Environmental Reporting River Water Quality dataset found here. Catchments where the predominant sources of nitrate are non-pastoral in origin are excluded.
Under Option 1, a per-hectare cap, or threshold, for nitrogen losses will be set for each sub-catchment with similar soil type and rainfall. This threshold will be based on a ranking of nitrogen losses from farms within each sub-catchment, and could be set at the 90th percentile, or the 70th, or a point between. Feedback is sought on where this threshold should be set.
This is only one of the options being consulted on, The areas indicated are provisional and may not equate to areas included in regulation.

This dataset shows land that would be covered by the option 3 of section 8.4 Immediate action to reduce nitrogen loss.
This dataset has been developed by the Ministry for the Environment to support policy proposals in the Action for Healthy Waterways discussion document. These proposals are currently being consulted on.
The map provides extra detail on Option 3 in section 8.4: Immediate action to reduce nitrogen loss, of the discussion document. The map indicates the high-nitrate catchments and sub-catchments that could be included under Option 3. These catchments have the highest 10% of nitrate levels in the MfE Environmental Reporting River Water Quality dataset which can be found here. The catchments are further restricted to regions that do not have rules already in place or proposed. Catchments where the predominant sources of nitrate are not pastoral or horticultural in origin have been excluded.
Under this option, farmers in these catchments would have to show, in the freshwater module in their farm plan, how they will rapidly reduce nutrient leaching. Progress against the plan would be monitored by independent auditors and the regional council could take enforcement action if required.
This is only one of the options being consulted on. The areas indicated are provisional and may not equate to areas included in a regulation.

This dataset reports erosion modelling results regarding annual mean sediment load reductions required to meet proposed suspended sediment attribute bottom lines. For more detail on the modelling process and methods, see Neverman et al. (2019). Impact testing of a proposed suspended sediment attribute: identifying erosion and sediment control mitigations to meet proposed sediment attribute bottom lines and the costs and benefits of those mitigations. Maanaki Whenua Landcare Research Client Report. Prepared for the Ministry for the Environment.
Results of modelled mitigations are reported at catchment scale and at the REC2 river reach scale. The modelled on-farm mitigations (per economic optimisation as reported in Neverman et al. (2019) are also mapped.

This dataset includes three “packages” of information, each with multiple variables. The packages include:
For further detail on the modelling methods and discussing results, see Hicks, M., Semademi-Davies, A., Haddadchi, A., Shankar, U., Plew, D. (2019) Updated sediment load estimator for New Zealand. NIWA Client Report No. 2018341CH, prepared for Ministry for the Environment. January 2019. Available online: www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/fresh-water/updated-s...
Note that some portions of this dataset refine and update 2011 modelling on suspended sediment loads across New Zealand, whereas other components, especially the coastal package, report new modelling results.

This dataset reports modelled reference and current state of streambed deposited fine sediment at the REC1 stream segment scale. It provides predicted reference state from a boosted regression tree model trained on 1.) reference site data defined by land cover rules, 2.) all available deposited sediment. It also shows predicted current state trained on all available deposited sediment data.
See Clapcott & Goodwin (2017) for further information on the relevant model rules and data inputs.
