Recreation Limit recreational access during the breeding period by deactivating or gating roads. Do not establish recreational facilities. Retain as much of the understorey trees, shrubs and herbaceous vegetation as is practicable. Do not harvest during the breeding season unless the district manager and regional fish and wildlife manager are satisfied there is no other practicable option and the variance is approved by the district manager and regional fish and wildlife manager. Do not salvage during the breeding season unless variance is approved by the district manager and regional fish and wildlife manager.
Areas used by cranes for staging prior to migration are sensitive to disturbance.
On lakes, do not use power boats during the breeding season. WHA planning objectives Maintain the structural integrity of nesting marshes. Wildlife habitat area Establish WHAs at currently occupied and historical high capability breeding sites. Historical sites are those where the species was once known to breed, but at which there has been no verified breeding in the last 20 years. The WHA should include the entire colony and the area between the colony and the near shoreline, and 50 m around this entire area.
