The New Zealand Marine Environment Classification

June 2005, Ref. ME594

The Marine Environment Classification (MEC) has been developed as a partnership project between the Ministry and NIWA with the support of the Ministry of Fisheries and the Department of Conservation. The MEC provides a general map that shows the variation in both the physical and biological characteristics of New Zealand's marine area within our Exclusive Economic Zone.

For more information, see Marine Environment Classification for management purposes on the NIWA website.
