Sediment Mud Content and Accretion Rate in Estuaries: Ministry for the Environment Attributes Stocktake

This scientific report collates existing information for two attributes: the sediment mud content attribute and sediment accretion rate attribute.  

 
Overall, the state of knowledge for the sediment mud content attribute is ‘good / established but incomplete’. 
  

For the sediment accretion rate attribute, the state of knowledge is ‘medium / unresolved’.
 

This report complements the Ministry for the Environment’s commissioned stocktakes of 55 environmental attributes covering air, terrestrial, soil, freshwater, and estuaries and coastal waters domains.
