Who is responsible for braided rivers?
There is virtually no formal protection for any braided river habitat. They are currently all designated as Unalienated Crown Land. Land Information New Zealand administers the riverbeds, whilst the regional council carries out flood protection work. The Department of Conservation is responsible for native plants and animals. Ngai Tahu Maori, district councils, Meridian Energy, Forest and Bird, Fish and Game and neighbouring landholders are the other major players in restoration efforts.
