In response to the particular interest in banded rail, a separate report is available focussing on a detailed review addressing banded rail (Waikato Regional Council <a href="https://subsite.waikatoregion.govt.nz/services/publications/tr201724/">TR 2017/24</a>).</p><p>Numerous bird species (several of which are listed as Threatened or At Risk) make use of mangrove habitat. For each species, this report summaries available information on: the degree of dependency on mangrove habitat, the purpose of use of mangrove habitat, important characteristics of mangroves, seasonal use of mangroves, connectivity of mangrove habitat and habitat patch size. This report also describes key issues associated with mangrove removal, as well as information gaps, and recommendations for monitoring and further research.</p><h2><a></a>Read or download the report</h2><p><a href="https://subsite.waikatoregion.govt.nz/assets/WRC/WRC-2019/TR2017-23-Use-of-mangrove-habitat-by-threatened-or-at-risk-birds.pdf">Use of mangrove habitat by threatened or at risk birds</a></p><table class="table table--default" border="0"> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td colspan="2">Contents</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><strong>Executive summary</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>1</strong></td> <td><strong>Introduction</strong></td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>1.1</td> <td>Report purpose</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1.2</td> <td>Report limitations</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>1.3</td> <td>What are mangroves?</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1.4</td> <td>Distributions</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>1.5</td> <td>Ecology</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1.6</td> <td>Mangrove use by birds</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><strong>2</strong></td> <td><strong>National Context</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2.1</td> <td>Assessment of significance of magrove habitat for Threatened or At Risk birds</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><strong>3</strong></td> <td><strong>Waikato Regional Context</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>3.6</td> <td>Assesssment of significance of mangrove habitat for Threatened or At Risk birds</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><strong>4</strong></td> <td><strong>Impact of Mangrove Removal</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>5</strong></td> <td><strong>Recommendations</strong></td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>5.1</td> <td>Knowledge gaps</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5.2</td> <td>Research recommendations</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>5.3</td> <td>Monitoring recommendations</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>6</strong></td> <td><strong>Conclusion</strong></td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><strong>7</strong>&nbsp;</td> <td><strong>References</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> </description> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 15:01:41 +1300</pubDate> <guid>https://subsite.waikatoregion.govt.nz/services/publications/tr201723/</guid> </item> </channel> </rss>
