	Margins New Zealand
		In presenting New Zealand as a focus area to the MARGINS Source-to-Sink community, we are mindful of the fact that any sediment dispersal system is influenced spatially by physiography, as well as local climatic and oceanographic regimes, and also varies with time in response to changes in base level (relative sea level).
		New Zealand is a major source of terrigenous sediment, supplying nearly 1% of the suspended load to the world ocean and the Waipaoa River ranks as one of the largest North and South Island sources.
		New Zealand’s scientific infrastructure is well-developed, and the literature incorporates a plethora of reconnaissance scale studies and background information for both sub areas.

	Planet Ark : NZ govt favours carbon tax to meet Kyoto target
		The 1997 protocol, which the government expects to ratify in August, requires New Zealand and other developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2 percent of 1990 levels between the first commitment period of 2008-12.
		New Zealand farmers will be exempt from the tax, which will approximate the global price of carbon estimated internationally to be priced between NZ$10 and NZ$20 a tonne.
		Around half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas output comes from the emissions of more than 50 million sheep and cattle, whose products earn around one third of New Zealand's direct export earnings.

		Proposed changes to the way countries' climate budgets are calculated aim to take greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs into account, but some experts worry that they will not go far enough.
		Hydroelectric dams produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane, and in some cases produce more of these greenhouse gases than power plants running on fossil fuels.
		Carbon emissions vary from dam to dam, says Philip Fearnside from Brazil's National Institute for Research in the Amazon in Manaus.

	Get wise about water - a teacher's resource - Save the Children New Zealand
		Not only are we adding 85 million new people to the planet every year, but our per capita use of water is doubling every twenty years, at more than twice the rate of human population growth.
		A legacy of factory farming, flood irrigation, the construction of massive dams, toxic dumping, wetlands and forest destruction, and urban and industrial pollution has damaged the Earth's surface water so badly that we are now mining the underground water reserves far faster than nature can replenish them.
		But such is the rate at which these underground reservoirs are being emptied that many water tables are dropping alarmingly and are being mined 10 times faster than they are being naturally recharged.
