Valuing Our Waters - Online Survey
What future would you like to see for local rivers? Should management of rivers give priority to swimming? Kayaking? Irrigation? Hydro development? Trout fishing? Native species? Cultural values? At what cost?
Cawthron Institute is conducting a case study in conjunction with Tasman District Council and Landcare Research, to explore how to accommodate diverse interests and values in freshwater management, with a focus on rivers in Tasman District.
