Environmental problems caused by improper mine tailings disposal in the Baguio district include pollution of the Lower Agno River system and its watershed and siltation of irrigation canals in the Pangasinan plains. Direct economic losses are from reduced agricultural production due to siltation of irrigation works and farmlands. To check the adverse ecological effects of improper mine tailings disposal, government regulations have been imposed on mining firms.
Several disposal schemes have been proposed, including the use of the reservoir of a multipurpose project to be sited in the watershed where the mines are located. Because of siltation problems, however, trapping the tailings in the reservoir will diminish the economic benefits that can be derived from the project.

Can preserving humble seagrass help protect us from the extremes of human-induced climate change?
The oceans have long been recognised by science as vital for capturing carbon and renewing the atmospheric balance that preserves life on earth. While vast amounts carbon are captured by phytoplankton, less well known has been the role played by seagrasses in storing carbon, cleansing the air and providing essential habitat for marine life.
Based on latest UTS marine research, this public lecture reveals the essential place of seagrasses in global ecology, the growing threats to its continued viability and the work that is being done to rehabilitate the areas of seagrass habitat already lost.
Professor Bill Gladstone
Marine biologist Bill Gladstone applies scientific understanding to solve problems in marine conservation and environmental management. His interests lie in assessing conservation values in marine ecosystems, the selection and management of marine parks, and community participation in marine conservation. He has worked throughout NSW, the Great Barrier Reef, Torres Strait, the Coral Triangle, and the Middle East.
Dr Peter Macreadie
Marine ecologist Peter Macreadie is a UTS Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow. His research cover a wide range of systems; from deep-sea reefs to intertidal oyster reefs. Peter’s current research focuses on seagrasses to better understand how their resilience to climate change can be improved, and how can we capitalise on their ability to capture and store atmospheric carbon.
Professor Peter Ralph
Peter Ralph has been working with seagrasses since the early 90’s, when he pioneered the use of optical methods of measuring photosynthesis to examine the impact of pollution on seagrass health. More recently, he is developing new tools to assess the ability of an entire seagrass meadow to fix carbon. This work is now part of an international research agenda lead by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to demonstrate the importance of seagrasses in the global carbon cycle.

34. Section 6 RMA – matters of national
importance
► The preservation of the natural character of the
coastal environment (including the coastal marine area),
wetlands, lakes and rivers and their margins, and the
protection of them from inappropriate subdivision,
use and development (s6(a))
► The protection of outstanding natural features and
landscapes from inappropriate subdivision, use and
development (s6(b))
► The maintenance and enhancement of public access
to and along the coastal marine area, lakes and rivers
(section 6(d))
35. But what is “inappropriate development”
Dictionary definition (Concise Oxford)
►“Inappropriate” – Not suitable or appropriate
►“Appropriate” – suitable, proper
►“Suitable” – right or appropriate for a particular
person, purpose or situation
39. Policy 1: Coastal environment includes:
• Coastal marine area (MHWS to 12nm) and islands
• Where coastal processes, influences or qualities are significant
• Areas at risk from coastal hazards
• Coastal vegetation and habitat of indigenous coastal species
• Elements and features that contribute to natural character and
landscape
• Cultural and historic heritage
• Inter-related coastal marine and terrestrial systems e.g. inter-
tidal zone
• Built structures which have modified the coastal environment
41. Landward extent of

This is to provide
clarity on where
section 6(a) and
NZCPS 2010
provisions apply

42. Policy 13(2): Attributes of natural character
Not the same as natural features and landscapes or amenity values. May
include:
•Natural elements, processes and patterns
•Biophysical, ecological, geological and geomorphological aspects
•Natural landforms – headlands, peninsulas, cliffs, dunes, wetlands, reefs,
freshwater springs, surf breaks
•Natural movement of water and sediment
•Natural darkness of the night sky
•Places and areas that are wild or scenic
•From pristine to modified
•Experiential attributes including the sounds and smell of the sea; and their
context or setting

43. Policy 13: Attributes of natural character
Human perception and values
e.g. natural movement of
NATURAL PROCESSES sediments, water, air and living
organisms
e.g. landforms, water bodies
NATURAL ELEMENTS and vegetation
e.g. components of
NATURAL PATTERNS landscapes and seascapes
45. Requirements to protect natural
character (policy 13)
► “Avoid” adverse effects in areas with
“outstanding natural character”
► “Avoid significant adverse effects” and A, R or M
other adverse effects on natural character in
other areas
REQUIRES identification of at least areas of high
natural character in plans
46. Promote restoration or rehabilitation of natural
character - Policy 14
www.eds.org.nz 46
47. Policy 15: Protecting coastal landscapes
► “Avoid” adverse effects on outstanding
natural landscapes (ONLs) – will be tested
in King Salmon case
► “Avoid significant adverse effects” and A, R
or M other adverse effects on other natural
coastal landscapes
REQUIRES mapping or other identification of
at least ONLs
48. Strategic Planning – Policy 7 (helps address
cumulative effects)
When preparing RPSs and plans,
councils must:
•Consider where, how and when to
provide for urban development and
other activities in the coastal
environment
•Identify areas where particular
activities and forms of subdivision
and development is inappropriate
AND provide them with protection
through objectives, policies and rules

A very ecologically devastated landscape. But of great value to New Zealanders. They are the coastal landscapes that New Zealanders have grown up with. One of the reasons, in my view, why coastal management has been so problematic under the RMA, is that the RMA gave more emphasis to ecological issues (rightly so) and landscape 9or human asosciations with the land, such as landscapes, has been given less attention
New Zealanders are a coastal people and have a long history of enjoying the coast. The 1890s saw the building of the first coastal holiday homes, which were weekend retreats for working men. They later became family holiday homes. But Europeans did not generally swim or sunbathe. Swimming took off in the 1910s and sunabthing in the 1920s.
An alternative or addition to intensification of coastal settlements is expansion. This can be a positive choice as it can direct development to areas already compromised by existing development. However if poorly managed it can result in ribbon development along the coastal edge, encroachment onto headlands and ridges, increased runoff into marine areas and increased areas subject to natural coastal hazards.
Turning first to natural character, although not defined in the RMA or the NZCPS it is thought to consist of three main elements: Natural processes which produce natural elements. The distribution of these natural elements over an area forms natural patterns.
Natural character is to be ‘preserved’ under the RMA which means maintaining it in its existing state. However case law has indicated that not all natural character is to be protected. It will be most highly preserved where the coastal environment is predominantly natural and free from human influences (photo on left). Development can impact on natural character in many ways (page 45) See handout for what plans can contain and what development design can incorporate to help preserve or enhance natural character
