Seagrass beds form an important undersea habitat for small fish, seahorses and shellfish in New Zealand.

Icebergs approach New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands every few years.

This unique project is the first systematic attempt to quantify and map environmental values of New Zealand's coastal marine ecosystem.

NIWA has developed an Urban Stormwater Contaminant (USC) model to enable urban planners to predict sedimentation and heavy metal accumulation in estuaries and identify problem areas in order to target mitigation measures.
