RIVER GRAVEL TECHNICAL WORKSHOP
- Presentations (added 9 January 2007)
(At TDC Richmond. By invitation for ICM
researchers, wider TDC, aggregate industry, iwi and others interested - please
contact Rob Smith at TDC or Andrew Fenemor at Landcare Research if interested
but not listed below)
A technical workshop at TDC linking science with management. Its aim is to
enhance understanding of river gravel and river channel dynamics.
Sediment-related research in the ICM research programme includes a review of 40 years of river cross-section records in the Motueka catchment, mapping of sediment sources and determining sediment fluxes down the river, assessing sediment impacts on aquatic life, and a collaborative learning group on sediment issues.
This workshop is an opportunity to link that developing science knowledge more directly with the management issues and those involved in river gravel management. These include TDC staff, scientists involved in the Motueka Integrated Catchment Management research programme, and other key stakeholders such as Fish & Game Council staff, the aggregate industry and catchment community representatives.
It will be an opportunity to learn more of some of the management issues around gravel removal and channel changes, and to see the depth of information and management tools that are available.
The programme for the day (likely to run 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.) will be announced shortly. It will include discussion of management issues, how the science informs those issues and what other information is needed to manage gravel extraction in a sustainable manner.
