Answer

I am advised that engagement on the impacts of Corbicula fluminea is undertaken through the Freshwater Partnership Steering Group. This group consists of representatives from iwi, hydroelectric generators, councils, as well as the Ministry for Primary Industries, the Department of Conservation, and Fish & Game New Zealand.
