	Coastal erosion & sediment systems - NIWA Science
		Along the 750 km of shoreline between the Patea River mouth and North Cape there are fl titanomagnetite sands, intermediate state pocket beaches nestled in between headlands, long (to 90 km) wide dissipative beaches, inland dunes, 100m high coastal cliffs of erodible Pleistocene sands, river mouths and large tidal inlets with associated deltas.
		The fl sand beaches of the west coast of the North Island between the Patea River mouth and North Cape have been sampled as part of a study of sand dispersal along the coast.
		The current understanding is that the titanomagnetite-rich fl sand originated mostly from the andesitic cone of Mt Taranaki in the south, with lesser contributions from the Waitakere volcanics in the Auckland region.
