ABOUT

​Waimea Inlet is the largest semi-enclosed estuary in the South Island and recognised as a wetland of international importance.  

The Inlet is home to some of New Zealand’s most rare and threatened native plants and animals, including birds like the variable oystercatcher, wrybill, banded rail, marsh crake, Australasian bittern and bar-tailed godwit. 

It is also home to populations of wild, stray and domestic cats which are known to predate native wildlife.  



The Responsible Cat Management (RCM) project aims to reduce wild and stray cat numbers and protect domestic cats in the area by working with cat owners through community education and engagement.
