Scope overview

As part of LINZ�s long-term national hydrographic survey plan (HYPLAN ), Banks Peninsula has been identified as a priority area for survey work. This work will be completed between October and December 2021. The purpose of the LINZ hydrographic survey is to facilitate safe navigation of tourism, recreational and coastal shipping, i.e., bathymetry.

The LINZ survey area, which does not extend all around the peninsula, extends from the 10 m depth contour to offshore areas where previous survey data exist. Environment Canterbury and the Department of Conservation have made a financial and resource commitment to expand the survey area.

The expanded survey will extend into areas around the peninsula not included in the LINZ survey and into areas shallower than 10 m water depth. The approximate size of the expanded survey area is 12,000 ha. Discovery Marine Limited (DML) has been contracted to survey approximately half of this area in conjunction with the work they are doing for LINZ (in 2021).

It is envisaged that the remainder of the area ECan, DOC, customary fisheries and runanga are interested in will be surveyed in 2022-2023.

Environment Canterbury and the Department of Conservation�s commitment to the survey expansion seeks to improve customary fisheries, runanga, community and agency knowledge of subtidal habitats and ecosystems of Banks Peninsula so we can collectively make better decisions for the sustainable management of resources and protection of coastal marine ecosystems.

We are committed to working collaboratively with a science partner who will interpret existing multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data, undertake seabed ground truthing and deliver end products that meet specific management, statutory planning and science needs. This RFP relates to the procurement of a science partner for the period February 2022 until June 2024.

The science partner will interpret already collected multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data, undertake seabed ground truthing and deliver end products that will meet the specific management, statutory planning and science needs of ECan, DOC, runanga, local customary fisheries management and communities. An overview of the end products is provided below.

Given that meeting runanga, customary fisheries, community and agency needs is central to the success of this project, final outputs will be determined collaboratively and should evolve through ongoing engagement.
