BoP Shared Priority Biodiversity Sites

Shared regional ecological priority sites – DOC/BOPRC Biodiversity Partnership. These priority sites were jointly developed by BOPRC and Department of Conservation to serve as a tool for prioritising proactive (non-regulatory) biodiversity management by BOPRC and DOC, with the aim of achieving the DOC/BOPRC shared goal of maintaining and/or restoring a full range of the Bay of Plenty's indigenous ecosystems to a healthy functioning state (see A1882734 and A2258190). NOT FOR REGULATORY USE. ONLY A SMALL SUBSET OF SITES THAT WOULD MEET SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA UNDER THE RPS.
