The Council is willing to work with other regulators in that space to achieve integrated management and ensure that the full beach area is managed effectively.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Ref: Kerr, V: 7 Ecological Impacts of Vehicles on Intertidal Habitats Within Coastal Ecological Significant Areas, April; 2023 and Kerr, V: Hokianga Harbour – Ecological Considerations of Vehicles on Beaches, April 2023.

Description: This dataset is part of the Proposed Regional Plan. It has no legal effect.The Marine Pollution Regulation defines areas safe for sewage disposal which are identified in this dataset.In our harbours, untreated sewage can contaminate the shellfish we eat or make water unsafe for swimming for a long time after it is discharged. Boat sewage is a serious risk to human and animal health and the environment.To continue to enjoy Northland's coast and safely gather and eat kaimoana (seafood), our waters must be kept free of sewage. There are strict rules covering sewage discharges from boats in Northland waters – these apply to every type of boat or craft. Untreated boat sewage must be discharged well outside of any harbour or at a marina pumping facility.It is illegal to discharge ‘Grade A' treated sewage within 100 metres of a marine farm. It's also illegal to discharge ‘Grade B' treated sewage within 500 metres of a marine farm or gazetted Maitaitai Reserve.Boat sewage is much more concentrated than sewage from land because it has not been diluted or treated. It is estimated that an untreated discharge from a single weekend boatie can put the same quantity of bacterial pollution into the water as the treated sewage from thousands of people on land.Boat sewage can contaminate the water with long-living viruses and nasties which can cause harmful diseases, like Hepatitis A, or severe stomach upsets.Shellfish can become unsafe to eat for weeks after exposure to sewage as they are filter feeders – they concentrate viruses and other nasties in the water. Shellfish in estuaries and bays are particularly at risk because any contaminated water in them usually takes longer to flush out.There are different ways you can comply with marine pollution regulations, including:Using on-shore toilet facilities Using an ordinary portable toilet and taking it ashore to empty it Installing a sewage holding tank on your boat Installing a sewage treatment system on board.The appropriate scale of use is 1:50,000
Description: Applicable Enclosed Limits area that shows the Harbour (as defined by the CMA ) up to the Enclosed Limits line. The Enclosed limits line is derived from Harbour Limits received from Maritime NZ. Modifications made in Bay Of Islands and Whangaroa Harbour for exceptions to the anchorage limits. (See Michael Payne for more details on this layer).
Description: Location of aquaculture exclusion areas in Northland. Exclusion areas give the industry and community certainty about where a proposal for an aquaculature marine area is more likely to succeed. Exclusion areas might include places such as navigation lanes, marinas and ports, or areas of high conservation or landscape value.
Description: This is a polyline layer, it shows the designated marine pathways for identified harbours and islands in Northland. This layer was created for Biosecurity as a part of the Proposed Norhland Regional Pest and Marine Pathway Management Plan. The island marine pathways are derived from an 800M buffer. This layer was published internally in Febuary 2017 when it was completed.
