Tasman District is home to a mixture of native and exotic freshwater fish. This page gives an overview of the fish species that live in this area as well as our monitoring of them.
The Waimea Delta provides a unique opportunity for restoring marshbird habitat, hopefully drawing back the nationally critically, and extremely shy, matuku or Australasian bittern, among other rare and important taonga species. The combination of freshwater and saltwater habitat creates a rich smorgasbord of food sources for native wildlife.
A key focus of this project is to support private landowners by assessing any in-stream structures (such as culverts) and completing remediation when required and within the scope of the project funding. This video explains more about Fish Passage.
One of Tasman District Council’s major roles as a unitary authority is to look after the region’s rivers and drainage systems. This section details how that work is completed.

This section deals with land which may have been included on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List. It explains the Council's role and the responsibilities of the landowner and provides links to further information.
We are committed to making sure our unique natural environment is healthy and protected and that our region is supported by an innovative and sustainable economy.
