This central, east-facing part of Pegasus Bay represents one of the smaller coastal environments contained within the Canterbury region. Much of the coastal environment comprises sand dunes backed by pine plantations and is reasonably homogenous, contained by two river systems, the Waimakariri River to the south and the Ashley River / Rakahuri to the north. Modification of the interdune vegetation communities has been substantial. Farmland and townships are evident immediately beyond the pine plantations. The Study Team determined that due to the level of modification apparent in the coastal environment, that there were only a few areas that reached the Level 4 mapping scale of high and very high natural character. These were generally concentrated areas that typically included wetland communities and included: 1. Saltwater Creek/ Ashley River / Rakahuri Mouth, which was mapped and rated Very High 2. Te Kohanga wetland, which was mapped and rated High 3. Tutaepatu Lagoon, which was mapped and rated High 4. Jockey Baker Creek, which was mapped and rated High These areas displayed high and very high levels of abiotic, biotic and experiential aspects of natural character, due to their lack of modification. Typically, these areas were contained by farmland, or commercial forestry which effectively confined these areas to localised areas. Of these areas, and after reappraisal under the outstanding methodology, only one area managed to reach the outstanding natural character threshold, which as Saltwater Creek/ Ashley River / Rakahuri Mouth. This was primarily due to the extensive intertidal mudflats and saltmarsh habitats that support an abundance of invertebrates as well as a significant variety of bird and fish life. Levels of modification are very low.Update Frequency:As needed.Point of Contact:Waimakariri District Council.Lineage:This data was digitized using aerial imagery and LINZ property boundaries. Accuracy may vary.
