     6.3             Reporting process and performance of the Recovery Plan
Monitoring of the Recovery Plan will require tracking the progress of actions designed to improve management of the population and reduce threats. The progress of the plan in achieving the management actions will be considered at an interim review of the plan at a period of no greater than 5-years, and at completion of the interim recovery objective period, by evaluating the 'Measure of success' as outlined for each Action Area in Section 5.1. A process for reporting and review is essential to determine how well the Plan is contributing towards its overall long-term objectives and, specifically, how well it is meeting the interim objectives and their targets within the period of the plan.
This review will identify:
    1)     Actions that have been completed.
    2)     Actions that are on track for completion; and
    3)     Actions that have not commenced.

The performance of this plan will be determined at its completion and assessed by assigning one of the performance ratings in Table 7. The performance rating assigned will demonstrate how successful the plan has been in meeting interim recovery objectives and specifically the targets in section 4.2, and will provide an indication of the degree of progress towards the long-term recovery objective.

    6.3.1     Data resources and data management
There are a range of data resources and data repositories that will aid informing and addressing management and research actions outlined in this Recovery Plan. These include, but are not limited to:
        * The Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST) – an online search tool with interactive mapping functions that is valuable for decision-making and research and can be used to identify MNES and other matters protected by the EPBC Act  that may occur in a particular area.
        * The Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS) – provides information on BIAs for protected species as well as a range of other national data on Australia's marine environment, such as
