| Abstract: | This report presents the findings of fine scale monitoring at one site in
the Waikanae River Estuary. This monitoring was undertaken in January 2011 and included assessments of sediment texture, nutrient and organic content, contamination, and benthic (sediment dwelling) fauna and flora. The methods used were based on an extension of the tools included in the National Estuary Monitoring Protocol.
