Maritime NZ does not hold this data, therefore we are refusing this request under section 18(e) of the OIA as the information does not exist.

We suggest you contact NIWA who may hold this data.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Official Information request - Information on fixed-site ocean temperature data (sampling < 3h) within NZ EEZ

Dear Maritime New Zealand,

I am a Master of Science student in Marine Science. I am seeking information on whether Maritime New Zealand holds any water temperature data collected by sensors fixed in place (for example, moorings, buoys or loggers) within New Zealand’s Exclusive Economic Zone. If such datasets exist, please advise:

• The sampling frequency or interval between measurements (e.g., minutes or hours); and • The geographic location(s) or area(s) where the sensors are deployed.

I am not requesting copies of the data themselves; I simply wish to know whether the data exists and, if so, the sampling rate and geographic coverage.

Yours faithfully,

RC
