Synthesis of Tasman Bay and Golden Bay Phase I research

During 2014–2019 (Phase I), many of our research projects were focused on the Tasman Bay/Te Tai-o-Aorere and Golden Bay/Mohua areas. 

To maximise accessibility and use of this knowledge, we: 

• Collated Phase I research, data and findings relevant to the Tasman Bay – Golden Bay area 
• Identified the best opportunity for synthesising Phase I research to provide the knowledge needed to support EBM in Tasman Bay – Golden Bay 

This information is informing the whakatutuki mahi being done to bring together the knowledge, tools and resources generated into end-user focused formats to support implementation. 

Why Tasman and Golden Bays? 

This area includes both coastal and offshore waters, and a variety of marine environments; as well as many different uses, activities and interests – some of which are competing. This diversity is a good basis for developing initial the tools and knowledge needed for EBM.
