What
The FRST-funded Motueka Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) research programme is a partnership between Tasman District Council, Landcare Research and the Cawthron Institute. The goal of the programme is to conduct multi-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder research to provide information and knowledge that will improve the management of land, freshwater, and near-coastal environments in catchments with multiple, interacting, and potentially conflicting land uses. The Motueka Catchment is being used as a case study to develop tools and techniques for ICM that can be applied elsewhere in New Zealand.
This two-day workshop aims to disseminate the knowledge gained so far in the research programme and gain feedback on how the approach can be taken elsewhere in New Zealand. The workshop is being held in addition to the South Pacific HELP (Hydrology for the Environment, Life and Policy) symposium but has been specifically designed for resource managers from New Zealand.
Where
First day is at Seifried Vineyard Conference Centre, Appleby (15 minutes from
Nelson airport)
Accommodation can be arranged at the Beachcomber Motor Lodge, Tahuna, otherwise
make your own arrangements in Nelson.
Who should attend?
The workshop is being run specifically to showcase results from the ICM programme and provoke discussion on future ICM directions. It is particular relevant to regional council staff working in environmental management and policy but also applies to anyone involved in sustainable land and/or water management from district council staff to central policy agencies such as MfE, MAF, MED, and the PCE.
Programme
The two days are split between a workshop and a field trip into the Motueka catchment.
Tuesday 8 November – workshop day (facilitator: Dr Glen Lauder)
Format of each session is an introduction to the issues by a Tasman District Council staff member followed by presentations on how the research helped with the issue, and what elements (where applicable) could be applied for implementing ICM in other catchments. Please note this timetable is still provisional (5/9/05).
