Looking after our coastline
From sheltered bays in the Marlborough Sounds       work visit https://www.marlborough.govt.nz/
to the exposed coast south of Cape Campbell,        environment/coastal
Marlborough has 1,800km of coastline that
many people enjoy for recreation or rely on for
a living.

Council works with several Government agencies
including the Department of Conservation
and Ministry for Primary Industries to look
after the coastal area. This is a complicated
task, covering more than 725,000ha of water
with many competing interests that must be
managed and balanced. Tourism, aquaculture,
fishing, mahinga kai (customary food gathering)
and recreation all depend on healthy coastal
ecosystems and good water quality.

Marine and land activities such as farming,
forestry and sewage discharge all have a direct
impact on the coastal environment. Council
regulates the different activities in the Sounds
through the Resource Management Plan and
consenting process. This work is backed up by
research and monitoring to help understand
the effects of land and water use and provide
information for future planning and protection.
