Freshwater pests: Fringed water lily
Ministry for the Environment"Freshwater plant and animal pests can have significant negative impacts on ecosystem health by reducing indigenous biodiversity through predation and competition, and destabilising aquatic habitats. Freshwater plant pests can cause economic losses through blocking water intakes for hydroelectricity generation, impeded drainage or irrigation. In addition,...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
Annual average sea surface temperature, 2002
Ministry for the EnvironmentThe ocean waters surrounding New Zealand vary in temperature from north to south. They interact with heat and moisture in the atmosphere and affect our weather. Long-term changes and short-term variability in sea-surface temperatures can affect marine processes, habitats, and species. Some species may find it hard to survive in changing environmental...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 March 2025 -

Ammoniacal nitrogen, 2009–2013
Ministry for the Environment"Small amounts of nitrogen are a natural component of healthy rivers. Nitrogen in rivers can vary due to differences in land use, climate, elevation, and geology. Nitrogen is transferred from land to water and is cycled through different forms, which can have different effects. Moderate concentrations of nitrate can cause weeds and algae to grow too fast....Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
