Abstract

A report commissioned by Environment Waikato and published in 2013 identified sites of importance to shorebirds on the east coast of the Waikato Region. The present report replaces the 2013 report; it updates information on the east coast sites, and adds sites of importance to shorebirds on the region’s west coast. It also provides an outline of the most important sites for seabirds in the region. Threat rankings of all taxa have been updated.
