The successful nursery/nurseries will supply and deliver all/part of the approximately 240,000 eco-sourced plants required for coastal planting over 2017, 2018, and 2019 (three planting seasons).
Coast Care Bay of Plenty is a community partnership programme, which uses local knowledge and enthusiasm to restore the form and function of the dunes in the Bay of Plenty.
The dunes are the backbone of our beaches, the buffer between the land and the sea. A properly functioning beach system will contain a wide, well vegetated and gently sloping dune, which is a reservoir of sand. During a storm the dune is a sacrificial zone, buffering the effects of large waves.
We now know that native dune plants play a vital role, binding light blowing sand onto the beach, and making stable sand dunes. Without these plants, the sand blows away and dunes disappear leaving the land vulnerable. Grazing by stock, excavation for development, introduction of exotic plant species and pedestrian trampling have significantly reduced the abundance of these specialised native dune plants.
When the dunes are gone rock sea walls are often installed to protect property from storm waves, but the sandy beach is lost as a result. Coast Care volunteers restore the function of their beaches by replanting native sand binding plants onto the dunes.
All four coastal district and city councils (Western Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Opotiki, Whakatane) and the Department of Conservation are in partnership with Bay of Plenty Regional Council to run the Coast Care Bay of Plenty programme.
The successful nursery/nurseries will supply and deliver all/part of the approximately 240,000 eco-sourced plants required for coastal planting over 2017, 2018, and 2019 (three planting seasons).
