Mangātarere Stream

Mangātarere Stream is a small gravel-bed stream in central Wairarapa, New Zealand, flowing from the Tararua Ranges to the Waiohine River near Carterton, which joins the Ruamāhanga River southeast of Greytown. The stream provides habitat for native birds, fish, freshwater crayfish, and long-tailed bats, supports a brown trout fishery, and faces ecological pressures from agricultural runoff and township wastewater, with riparian planting used to mitigate impacts.
