Sensitive Sites - Western Bay of Plenty, Waihī Beach to Pikowai Stream

Sensitive sites in the coastal marine area have been mapped, and form part of this plan, to help inform decision making during an oil spill response and ensure their protection (using various kinds of equipment and tactics).

Please review the existing Sensitive Area maps to the right of the page.

  • Are any of the sensitive sites noted incorrect?
  • Are there sensitive sites missing?
  • For example, are there burial sites not identified in these maps that would need special consideration during an oil spill event?
