due to the regionalisation of each stock and their life cycle requirements, actions that are specific to a stock and its recovery have been described in the individual stock tables provided at Section 5.4.

Indicative cost of implementing actions
The cost of implementing the actions outlined in this recovery plan are, already to a large extent, borne by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments in the delivery of their core business, plans and programs, both domestically and internationally. It is not practicable to determine with a high degree of certainty what each action costs to be implemented. State, territory and Commonwealth governments also collaborate with universities, scientific institutions, industry, business, NGO's and communities in the delivery of their programs and research activities. While Indigenous communities and rangers receive some support from a variety of government programs to undertake management for marine turtles and their environments, many communities undertake a large degree of management without outside support. There is also significant investment from industry, the general community and non-government organisations towards additional programs, managing and conserving marine turtle habitats.

Action
    * Align the threat status of marine turtles in range jurisdictions through the operation of the Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding: agreement on a common assessment method for listing of threatened species and ecological communities.
    * Maintain, implement and improve efficacy of existing management arrangements as listed at Sections 2 and 4.3.
    * Maintain and improve biological information, including spatial information, used to inform robust decision making.
    * Develop and implement nationwide significant impact guidelines for marine turtles.
    * Manage anthropogenic activities to ensure marine turtles are not displaced from identified habitat critical to the survival as per section 3.3 Table 6.
    * Manage anthropogenic activities in Biologically Important Areas to ensure that biologically important behaviour can continue.
    * Develop robust criteria for the identification of habitat critical to the survival of each stock for foraging, migration, mating and hatchling dispersal.

Description
Australia maintains its position promoting recovery of all marine turtle stocks both domestically and in all relevant international agreements and fora. All management decisions and supporting tools continue to be informed by current and robust evidence, noting the precautionary principle. Decisions take into account the cumulative impacts of multiple pressures and resulting actions do not affect listed marine turtles such that they cannot continue to utilise important habitats. Actions undertaken in or adjacent to (i.e. causing 'downstream impacts' such as light spill) designated habitat critical to the survival
