The Wairau Estuary in Milford Fjord connects the Wairau Valley hinterland, which is only a few kilometres from the industrial and commercial heart of the Wairau Valley region. Numerous environmental tests have shown that common pollutants are widespread in the rivers and waterways around the Wairau Valley, from industrial sites, heavy traffic and recreational activities in the estuary. However, a total of nine species of native freshwater fish and crustaceans have been found to survive in rivers and watercourses. With the help of environmentally passionate volunteers in Milford and Castor Bay, and under the guidance of Auckland City Council's professional team, the Devonport-Takapuna District Council decided to fund environmental activities to protect and maintain the cleanliness of the Wairau estuary and beaches. Environmental Volunteers New Zealand works with members of the local community and volunteer organisations to improve the cleanliness and health of rivers and waterways through litter removal and tree planting.
