Description

"Estuarine sediments can accumulate chemical contaminants originating from land-based activities. Sediment contamination therefore provides a useful marker of land use impacts on aquatic receiving environments. In addition, the build-up of contaminants can cause changes in the ecological health of an estuary by reducing the abundance or diversity of sensitive species, leaving degraded communities dominated by species that are tolerant of higher contaminant concentrations. Understanding the distribution of chemical contaminants in marine sediments, their potential effects on aquatic ecology, and trends in chemical contamination over time, is therefore important for effective resource management of coastal areas. Auckland Council monitors contaminants in marine sediments at approximately 120 sites in the Regional Sediment Contaminant Monitoring Programme (RSCMP). The RSCMP data complement those obtained in other Auckland Council programmes (e.g. coastal water quality and benthic ecology), which together aim to provide consistent, long-term information on the quality of Auckland's coastal environment. This monitoring is carried out as part of fulfilling Auckland Council's obligations under the Resource Management Act 1991. Information gained is used to identify issues and inform policy development and environmental decision-making. This report covers the period 2004 to 2019 (inclusive) and includes assessment of chemical contaminant 'state' in Auckland's estuaries and harbours, spatial patterns of sediment contamination, and the potential impacts of this contamination on benthic ecosystem health."--Executive summary.
