Towards integration: A study of the integrated management of sedimentation in Lyttelton Harbour: Report presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Resource Management

Abstract

Coastal management in the past has been fragmented. The Resource Management Act 1991 and the new statutory requirements for plans represents an attempt at a more integrated approach. Our aim in this report is to see whether this new system will achieve integrated management. We recognise however, that integrated management is a process as well as an end, and that these two necessarily overlap.
