What is Natural Character? Natural elements, Natural patterns and Natural processes Extent of human influence on this NOT indigenous; nor landscape Section 6 (a) RMA

Primary Attributes River channel River Shape Flow regime Water Quality Absence of exotic flora/ fauna   Structures/ human modification

Primary Attributes contd Riparian edge Extent of native flora   Structures/ human modification Wider Landscape Landscape character

Result Assessed 38 rivers/river segments Potential range of natural character from 8-40 Actual range 16-40 Initial concerns with purpose and process Worked through; takes time Debates between ‘river experts’ robust Ultimately considerable agreement

Points of Difference/Issues 5 point scale to rank each attribute Concerns about adding ordinal data Debate about what natural character is not yet resolved Few objective measures; relies on expert assessments which may vary between regions Peer review still continuing; some issues but largely complimentary
