      Section 2. Framework provides a background to the overall guidelines approach, recommendations on agency roles and responsibilities, and information on the condition of use of this document.

      Section 3. Guidelines describes the recommended three-tier monitoring and action sequence for planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria.

      Section 4. Sampling provides advice on sampling planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria.

      The appendices give further background information and include templates for data collection and reporting, including:

      • background information on known cyanotoxins and their distribution in New Zealand

      • information on the derivation of guideline values

      • photographs of typical bloom events

      • a list of biovolumes for common New Zealand cyanobacteria

      • templates for field assessments

      • suggested media releases and warning sign templates.

      A glossary provides definitions for abbreviations and terms used in these guidelines.
