This site has been created by the NZ Fish & Game Council, Forest & Bird and Choose Clean Water as a resource to support the development of regional plans that protect and restore the health of our communities’ waterways, consistent with the NPS-FM 2020.

Fish & Game is the legislated agency that manages, maintains and enhances sports fish and game birds and their habitats, in the best long-term interests of present and future generations of anglers and hunters. They are a not-for-profit organisation funded through the sale of fishing and hunting licences

The Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society (Forest & Bird) is Aotearoa’s largest and longest serving independent conservation organisation. Its mission is to be a voice for nature – on land, in the sea, and in our fresh waters. Forest & Bird’s constitutional purpose is to “take all reasonable steps within the power of the Society for the preservation and protection of the indigenous flora and fauna and the natural features of New Zealand.”

Choose Clean Water is a volunteer-run campaign for strong freshwater policy to support the health of Aotearoa’s people, wildlife, and environment.
