The Otago Regional Council coastal team works to keep Otago Regional Council harbours and waterways safe for everyone to enjoy.
At ORC we:
We cover the Otago region, apart from Queenstown Lake District and Lake Dunstan, both of which have their own harbourmasters appointed by the district councils.
Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) recognises that all the elements of an ecosystem, including the people, are connected.
Know your hornwort from your lagarosiphon? ORC’s Biosecurity team actively combats freshwater pests to safeguard our waterways, including initiatives such as the Check, Clean, Dry program. Let’s keep our aquatic ecosystems thriving.
If you observe pollution in, or on, our Otago coasts, please contact our Pollution Hotline at 0800 800 033 or fill in the form on our Report Pollution page. Your information is crucial in helping us maintain a cleaner environment for everyone in Otago.
