Abstract/Summary:
New Zealand is obliged to monitor the health and condition of wetlands as a signatory to two international conventions (Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands). To assist with these requirements, this handbook describes a set of science-based indicators that have been developed to monitor the condition of New Zealand estuarine and palustrine wetlands. It has been designed for managers, landowners, community groups and anyone else with a need to monitor the condition of wetlands
