Rivers, lakes and wetlands

The Bay of Plenty region is home to lakes, 10 major and many smaller awa (rivers) and a large number of wetlands.

These waterbodies sustain our work, life and play and provide habitats for hundreds of native plants and animals. For example, some of the mature female tuna (eels) that live in the Rangitāiki River were born more than 60 years ago.
