well as locations with alternative primary objectives.
The following strategies are designed to meet these objectives within the 10-year lifespan of this recovery plan:
    * Strategy 1: Ensure activities and developments in coastal areas within the current and future modelled water mouse distribution are adequately assessed, regulated, and managed to ensure no detrimental short-, medium-, or long-term impacts on the national population.
    * Strategy 2: Map water mouse habitat and locations at a fine scale to ensure relevant land managers and Custodians are identified and engaged in water mouse recovery.
    * Strategy 3: Develop clear and adaptive communications and implement tailored engagement processes to ensure relevant land managers and Custodians are effectively engaged in water mouse detection, management and monitoring.
    * Strategy 4: Implement targeted water mouse detection surveys in areas of potential habitat across the water mouse distribution.
    * At confirmed water mouse locations:
               Strategy 5: Support current and future land managers and Custodians to include the water mouse in adaptive land management plans that support persistence and recovery by identifying local threats to this species, and implementing actions to address them.
               Strategy 6: Ensure effective water mouse population monitoring occurs to enable local and national population trends, impacts of threats, and effectiveness of management actions to be assessed.
          Strategy 7: Investigate water mouse ecology and detectability, and the impact of threats to the national population.

1.5                  Criteria for success
The recovery plan will be considered successful if by 2032:
    * It can be demonstrated via population monitoring and approvals auditing that the water mouse population has not declined in abundance or occurrence due to coastal development, and
    * Adaptive water mouse management plans are in place (or under development) and management actions are effectively implemented to address threats across the water mouse distribution, and
    * Knowledge about water mouse ecology and the impacts of potential threats has increased and is incorporated into adaptive management plans, and
    * Up-to-date water mouse information flows freely among partners due to effective facilitation by a Water Mouse Recovery Team, and
    * Targeted survey effort to detect the water mouse has occurred at all priority locations across northern Australia (where safe and feasible to do so), and
    * The ongoing decline in the national water mouse population is halted i.e. the population is demonstrated to be stable or recovering across its known distribution via an effective national monitoring program, and
    * There is a significant increase in participation by Indigenous Peoples in cross-collaborative recovery planning and actione for the water mouse.

1.6                  Recovery team
National Recovery Teams provide advice and assist in coordinating actions that are outlined in recovery plans. They include a diversity of representatives from organisations with responsibility
