湿地是退化最严重的生态系统之一，但大多数国家在保护和管理湿地方面却做得很少。据估计，新西兰现在只剩下约8%的原始湿地面积。与其他地方一样，管理这些重要栖息地的制度安排显然不够充分。然而，新西兰最近对资源管理体制框架的重组为改进提供了一些希望。概述了新西兰资源管理的新体制安排，并强调了它们对湿地保护和管理的影响。我们报告了对全国资源管理机构（地方和区域委员会）进行的关于湿地保护和管理主题的问卷调查。接下来是对第二次问卷调查的讨论，该调查针对一个规划辖区的土地所有者样本进行。本文的两个主要部分通过考虑湿地管理战略背景下两项调查结果的影响而联系在一起。
Wetlands are one of the most severely degraded ecosystems and yet, in most countries, little has been done in the interests of their protection and management. It is estimated that in New Zealand only about 8% of the original wetland areas now remain. As in other places, institutional arrangements for the management of these important habitats have been patently inadequate. However, recent restructuring of the institutional frameworks for resource management in New Zealand offers some promise for improvements. The new institutional arrangements for resource management in New Zealand are outlined and their implications for wetland protection and management are highlighted. We report on a questionnaire survey administered to resource management agencies (local and regional councils) throughout the country on the subject of wetland protection and management. This is followed by a discussion of a second questionnaire survey, administered to a sample of landowners in one planning jurisdiction. The two main parts of the paper are linked by considering the implications of the results of the two surveys in the context of a strategy for wetland management.
