Marlborough Sounds Resource Management Plan cheesemanii (r); Muehlenbeckia ephedroides (r );Mazus radicans (r); scrambling fuchsia (r) ; Diplazium australe (r); Hebe rigidula (n); Glossostigma elatinoides; Hydrocotyle h (r), Melicytus ‘ Tinline ’ (r). ydrophila Estuarine: oioi; marsh ribbonwood; coastal shrub daisy, Korthalsella salicornioides (r); K. clavata (r). Forest: Hebe divaricata; Chionochloa cheesemanii; Melicytus lanceolatus; ramarama; Pittosporum divaricatum (r). [(n)=endemic to North Marlborough (r)=rare in the Marlborough Sounds, or nationally threatened.] 4. Animals Kakariki (yellow-crowned parakeet); blue duck; South Island robin; falcon; South Isla nd kaka; short-jawed kokopu (r ); Powelliphanta ‘consobrina’ (r); native slugs (Pseudaneitea papillata, Athoracophorus bidenticulatus). [(r)=rare in the Marlborough Sounds, or nationally threatened.] C. Priorities and Potential for Restoration Terrestrial Values High restoration priority for all alluvial communities, especially low terrace and floodplain forests. These communities are almost regionally extinct and remnants highly vulnerable to a wide range of threats. Potential for reintroduction of alluvial species that have become regionally extinct. Potential for delta restoration to enhance estuarine margins, delta shrubland and forest communities, and whitebait spawning habitat. Priority to create corridor to link Sounds ecosystems with inland parts of North Marlborough. Regenerating shrublands provide excellent potential for lowland forest restoration. Freshwater Values Restore buffers and in other ways mitigate threat to freshwater wetlands. Recognise the importance of dynamic river processes such as flooding and erosion/deposition in maintaining alluvial landforms and the functioning of alluvial natural areas. Riparian management to improve water quality is a very high priority for maintenance of valued recreational trout fishery. Maintenance and improvement of fish passage is important for both trout and native fisheries. Maintenance of adequate stream and river flow is a key issue on this zone, as demand for agricultural water exitists. App Two - 52
