Insect pollinated seed crops contribute at least NZ$60Million annually in export earnings. These crops are pollinated by a range of insects including honey bees, bumble bees, native bees and flies, and maintaining pollinator diversity can be important for maximising crop yields. However, different pollinators are active at different times of the day and under varying climatic conditions (activity windows).

The Greenshell mussel (GSM) is a commercially, ecologically and culturally significant species to New Zealand. Summer die-offs, spat retention issues and a severe decline in GSM spat settlement have been reported in the Marlborough Sounds. The causes of these effects are unknown but preliminary evidence indicates that pressure from anthropogenic activities could contribute. The aims of this study were to

(1) test the toxicity of water and sediment extracts on early life stages of the GSM to identify potential sources of stressors affecting GSM recruitment, and

(2) investigate the effects of temperature on the toxicity of these stressors to help understand the potential impact of climate change and pollution on GSM.

Land-based effects on coastal fisheries, kaimoana, and their habitats occur through a diversity of mechanisms. This literature review explores those mechanisms, and likely impacts in New Zealand, with arguably the most important being sedimentation. Background into concerns and interests held by selected iwi and hapū is provided. A potential new emerging issue is Submarine Groundwater Discharge rate reductions to coastal zones. Fundamental knowledge gaps remain, with research suggestions made.
