APPENDIX C: Habitats that are regarded as critical to the survival of threatened albatross and petrel species breeding within Australia's jurisdiction
Under section 270 of the EPBC Act a recovery plan must, to the extent to which it is practicable to do so, identify the habitats that are regarded as critical to the survival of the threatened species. Albatrosses and petrels in Australia's jurisdiction use two broad categories of habitat: breeding habitat (remote islands) and foraging habitat (southern oceans). This section describes the habitat that is critical to their survival within areas under Australia's jurisdiction.
Breeding habitats
Albatrosses and petrels breed at only six localities under Australia's jurisdiction. These are:
    * Macquarie Island (including Bishop and Clerk Islets)
    * Albatross Island
    * Pedra Branca
    * The Mewstone
    * Heard Island and McDonald Islands
    * Australian Antarctic Territory at Giganteus Island, Hawker Island and the Frazier Islands.
These remote offshore islands constitute the only suitable breeding habitat under Australia's jurisdiction and should be regarded as habitat that is critical to the survival of albatrosses and petrels in Australia. Shy Albatross is endemic to Australia and the breeding habitats for this species (Albatross Island, the Mewstone, and Pedra Branca) comprise its entire breeding habitat. Macquarie Island, Heard Island and McDonald Islands and the AAT host several species of albatrosses and petrels. Many of these populations are very small and are critical for maintaining the genetic diversity necessary to ensure the viability of these species
