To understand the drivers of change and recovery in nearshore ecosystems, we quantified the variation in sea-level change caused by tectonic uplift and evaluated relationships with ecological impacts with a view to establishing the minimum threshold and overall extent of the major effects.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this assessment we needed to quantify the degree of vertical uplift from the earthquake as close as possible to our post-earthquake study sites in the new intertidal zone. Challenges for this included the availability of elevation data within this area since it was previously covered by water at high tide.We used a methodology based on LiDAR data from the closest adjacent areas to landward that also incorporated an assessment of tilt effects that could lead to uneven ground level displacements, and two time periods to address the potential for continued displacement subsequent to the main seismic event. We also included two different sensitivity analyses to validate the approach used, and assessed interactions with substrate types.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Findings</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We found that co-seismic uplift accounted for the majority of the sea-level change at most locations. However, some changes were detected in the period after the initial earthquake that result from the effects of reef weathering and movement of mobile gravels along the coast. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vegetation losses were evident in equivalent intertidal zones at all of the uplifted study sites. Nine of ten uplifted sites suffered severe (>80%) loss in habitat-forming algae and they included the lowest uplift values (0.6 m). The results indicate a functional threshold of approximately one-quarter of the tidal range above which major impacts were sustained. This pattern wasn't entirely explained by the previous position of zone boundaries between the main habitat-forming species in relation to their intertidal position, suggesting that other factors (additional to sea-level changes) were involved.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of the interesting effects involved previously subtidal algae such as bull kelp (<i>Durvillaea</i> spp.) individuals that were uplifted into the low intertidal zone where they ought to persist - but did not. This suggests that additional post-dearthquake stressors had contributed to the degree of impact, since otherwise we would have expected to find more survivors in our lower intertidal study areas. Similar effects were found for <i>Hormosira</i> in the mid-intertidal zone. Continuing research has been investigating the nature of these factors. These 'double whammy' situations are evidently important to the regeneration of ecosystems and ecosystem services following a major disturbance, and may also affect the severity of observed mortality events.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448664765274439021.post-1534745900096385382021-02-12T09:21:00.000+13:002021-12-13T11:23:23.343+13:00Recover newsletter issue 6 on Kaikōura coastal recovery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcaXuXzIuef_HXaXM060Y9bpDcdBxpzCvmq98zoFIv2NmRiAXloWM8G51OK0HHrOXODZGmbFiQ8m-UYiZ0R2rrDr-aztfuD89WJXehTd1395b7fXJIxCDwNRXWhvZhECigLi_wtK67ZE/s2350/UC+logo_red.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="437" data-original-width="2350" height="60" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcaXuXzIuef_HXaXM060Y9bpDcdBxpzCvmq98zoFIv2NmRiAXloWM8G51OK0HHrOXODZGmbFiQ8m-UYiZ0R2rrDr-aztfuD89WJXehTd1395b7fXJIxCDwNRXWhvZhECigLi_wtK67ZE/s320/UC+logo_red.png" width="320" /></a></div>#RECOVER Issue 6 features the ‘new land’ created by the earthquake uplift of the coastline, recreational uses of beaches in Marlborough, and pāua survey work and hatchery projects with our partners in Kaikōura.<p></p><p>Available online here <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10092/101857">https://hdl.handle.net/10092/101857</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448664765274439021.post-77764552430180384812021-02-08T10:58:00.012+13:002021-12-13T11:42:16.716+13:00Whitebait spawning grounds at non-tidal rivermouths<p><b><span>We recently published a study of īnanga (<i>Galaxias maculatus</i>) spawning grounds at non-tidal rivermouths in <i>Pacific Conservation Biology</i>. </span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/non-tidal-spawning_PCB" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://bit.ly/non-tidal-spawning_PCB" border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="598" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicEzvClH2q6xpqT3BFOX-f-XtbezoR1OipuhQqGinxLlRuRuoB-vgrm5EvqyPeIrVdBcLiSJ3yeA094JJ6YqCFV_pJLaRQiax8l_c5jJDg4B601s-67g01SB1RWCIYzomlUWeIyK3utfM/w289-h123/PCB+banner+image.JPG" width="289" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Article freely available <a href="http://bit.ly/non-tidal-spawning_PCB">here</a></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Non-tidal rivermouths are common on the east coast of the South
island and south-east of the North Island where they are commonly associated
with high energy mixed sand-gravel beaches that form perched lagoons or <i><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">hāpua
</span></b></i>at the rivermouth. </p><p class="MsoNormal">At the outset of the study the spatial pattern of spawning
in these environments grounds was unknown. Some of
the interesting findings were that the location of spawning was <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>close to the
rivermouth despite the lack of salt water intrusion or tidal influence</b></span></i>, both of
which are associated with spawning grounds in tidal situations. </p><p class="MsoNormal">A downstream
fish migration evidently still occurs prior to spawning events and fish
movements were surprisingly rapid in response to spawning cues in many
instances. Spawning events are <i><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">triggered by water level changes</span></b></i> as occurs in
tidal rivermouths, but appear to be more haphazard due to their origins being
rain events rather than regular tidal cycles.Geographical aspects of the spawning locations were
remarkably consistent across all seven study sites in key aspects such as the
position in the catchment, relationship with water changes and presence of
riparian vegetation. </p><p class="MsoNormal">This provides a solid basis for identifying and managing
spawning habitat in other non-tidal rivers. Effects we recorded included
spawning on flood events that resulted in spawning grounds being located
some distance from the active channel. As with tidal situations this places the
eggs at risk from human activities in those same zones, but potentially
presents a more difficult management proposition due to these events being less
predictable. Their irregular nature suggests they are less likely to be
accommodated in riparian zone planning and management. Importantly, the
spawning grounds are located close to the peak water levels experienced on
these events, which coincides with areas that are only briefly inundated. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Recognising and protecting these emphemeral flood-zone areas is the

In uplifted areas the intertidal zone has moved seaward leading to a physical widening of many beaches. This has provided greater opportunity for off-road vehicle access to the coast and has become particularly noticeable at headlands and other natural barriers that were previously impassable at high tide. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Off-road vehicles
pose threats to sensitive vegetation and wildlife unless appropriately managed.
Achieving this is assisted by an understanding of the specific impacts of
vehicle use, which in turn requires information on the location of sensitive
areas. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.3333px;"><span>To ensure the best outcomes for earthquake recovery there is an urgent

The Canterbury earthquakes provided a rare opportunity to observe the actual effects of a sea-level rise event. This study explores the impacts of hydrological changes resulting from tectonic ground movement in low-lying coastal environments, and draws analogies with future climate change.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>
The paper describes landscape-scale changes and assess interactions with human land-use patterns and disaster recovery responses that include a large scale managed retreat. The results illustrate mechanisms by which 'coastal squeeze' effects may occur with sea-level rise - and also ways to avoid them through innovative planning and design. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Principles identifiable from the actual impacts in this case provide useful insights for other situations of sea-level rise.<br />
<br />
We highlight the need for an improved focus on whole-system resilience in responding to sea-level changes, and the importance of disaster recovery processes for adaptation to climate change.<br />

<br />
We have completed a variety of these high-resolution surveys to investigate diverse aspects of recovery that include habitat shifts and vegetation recovery at our study sites. The sites themselves are characterised by a a variety of environmental conditions and different degrees of uplift resulting from the earthquake event. The high degree of spatiotemporal variation makes the identification of overall impact a challenging task!<br />

to fill a knowledge gap about whitebait in streams and rivers along the Kaikōura coast. Knowing where they are is useful for recovery planning in the same areas post-earthquake as well as for restoration projects in local waterways.<br />
<br />
Our survey programme started with fish trapping to find out which species were living in which rivers, after which we selected waterways that were suspected to have good īnanga populations. They included seven catchments close to Kaikōura (Oaro, Kahutara, Lyell / Waikōau, Middle, Swan, Harnetts and Blue Duck) as well as other sites in Marlborough. After four months of surveying we discovered at least one spawning event in all of these streams and rivers and were able to map the spawning locations including some large sites!<br />

It's been great working on this project with Waitara Alive and the Ōtaraua Hapū along with Waitara High School students to better understand the health of whitebait spawning sites along the Waitara River. </div>
<div>
The project is comparing present day spawning site health and
abundance to historical evidence collected from local kaumatua.
By contrasting past with present, the Inanga Ora project team
hope to identify how spawning habitat is changing, and what can
be done to better protect it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The project was funded by the 'Curious Minds' He Hihiri I Te Mahara. Participatory Science Platform. <br />Check out a recent update from the Venture Taranaki <a href="http://business.taranaki.info/Grants-Funding/Curious-Minds-Stories-2017.pdf" target="_blank">here</a></div>
