ICM - definition
Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) is a processprocess through which people can develop a vision, agree on shared values and behaviours, make informed decisions and act together to manage the natural resources of their catchment.
Various names are used (Total Catchment Management, Integrated Catchment Management, the Watershed Approach, Ecosystem Management) but they all share common elements - engaging stakeholders through a partnership approach, co-ordinating action across jurisdictions, systems thinking, and using a balanced approach to weigh concerns for sustainability against development.

Summary
• Involvement of stakeholders• Scoping the issues• Knowing what we know• Plan of action• Implementation, monitoring & evaluation• Always with big picture in mind• Always aware of the connections

The Q’s?
• What’s there?• What’s the condition?• What are the functions?• Can we do anything about it?• What should we do, and where?• What would the benefits be?
“where in the catchment should I start and what should I do first”

What do we want from our plants?• Rapid growth -->> surface cover• Resilience/wide environmental
tolerance• Root depth - anchor plant• Root spread – overlap with adjacent
plants• Strong surface root mat – hydraulic
protection• High root biomass – more the better• Root occupancy – biggest volume• Root strength – stronger roots more
resistant to external forces

What to use?
• Colonisers – moss and ferns• Depth – cabbage tree, ribbonwood• Spread – lemonwood, ribbonwood• Above gd biomass – cabbage tree, tutu• Below gd biomass – cabbage tree, tutu• Tree height – lacebark, ribbonwood, cab. tree• Canopy spread – tutu, karamu• Root strength – lacebark, kanuka, kohuhu
Ecologically designed vs functional performance?

Implications for bank stabilization -small streams
• no limitations, provided that bank height is not more than ~2 m and channel bed is stable
• success depends on density - formation of dense canopy & full root occupancy of the soil
• shallow soil stabilisation after 3-5 years• improvement in deeper slope stabilisation
expected within 7-10 years of establishment• species can withstand breakage and over-topple

Implications for bank stabilization -large streams
• lack of roots in deeper soil layers limits usefulness in streams where bank undercutting occurs
• ineffective if bank height exceeds effective rooting depth ~ 2 m.
• banks would need to be graded and unstable channel beds artificially regraded prior to planting

Summary – natives in general• NZ natives take longer to grow cf exotics – but not slow• Some natives can regenerate, eg cabbage trees - good• Woody plants effective after about 5 years• Change the ecological mix to suit the site• Mixed plantings of natives and exotics?• More work needed on functional performance
