Sediment-dwelling organisms

Bivalves (shellfish – cockles) and polychaetes (marine worms) are the major components of the sediment-dwelling organism communities at all five Whāingaroa (Raglan) Harbour monitoring sites. Crustaceans (amphipods – shrimp like, crabs) were relatively abundant at all monitoring sites. Gastropods (snails) are more rare and not found at all sites in Whāingaroa (Raglan) Harbour.

For further monitored results (estuary health indicators) please go to the estuary health LAWA website. A detailed analysis of all trends in our results as well as the relationships between sediment properties and sediment-dwelling communities are investigated in our latest trend report.
