Landholders                                                                                                                                                                                       • Contributing to the development and implementation of the plan.                                                                                                   • Potential land use impacts. These groups will be the target of education and awareness activities. Particularly on how site management plans may be implemented by landholders.

Consultation

             The Recovery Plan for the Australian Fairy Tern has been developed through extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders. The consultation process brought together key species experts and conservation managers, from a range of different organisations, to categorize ongoing threats to the Australian Fairy Tern, and identify knowledge gaps and potential management options. Consultation included
             representatives from government agencies, non-government organisations, researchers and local community groups. During the drafting process the Department of Agriculture, Water the Environment (Cwlth) continued to work closely with key stakeholders.

             Notice of the draft plan was made available for public comment for four months between 20 December 2019 and 17 April 2020. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee as part of its assessment process.
