The Government is poised to announce a plan to restore the Bay of Plenty coastline to the condition it was in before the Rena disaster.
The container ship has been aground on a reef off the Tauranga coast since November, spilling oil and debris onto beaches and islands in the bay.
Environment Minister Nick Smith will announce the plan at 11am on Tauranga's Waikari Marae.
He says it was a comprehensive plan to co-ordinate all the agencies involved in the clean up.
"We've got a very large number of agencies already involved as well as three regional councils," he said.
"There are public health authorities as well, this is going to bring it all together to restore the Bay of Plenty to its pre-Rena condition."
Dr Smith has been working with local iwi who are worried about the long-term impact of pollution.
