(years 1–4). To be developed in the first year and include foundational management actions and development of robust natural, social and economic baselines.
  * Implementation plan 2—Consolidation (years 5–8). To be developed following a review of the first implementation plan, and considering lessons learnt. To continue any ongoing foundational management actions.
  * Implementation plan 3—Finalisation and review (years 9–10). To set out arrangements to review the lessons learnt from implementing the management plan over the first eight years, and inform the development of the next management plan for the Temperate East Network.

Adaptive management
Regular monitoring, evaluation, reporting and review of the implementation of this plan will be essential to achieve the vision for Australian Marine Parks and the objectives for this plan. The Director will undertake periodic monitoring, evaluation, review and reporting on the implementation of this plan to:
  * evaluate the effectiveness of this plan in achieving its objectives;
  * track progress in meeting performance indicators identified in implementation plans;
  * review the effectiveness of zoning and other management arrangements to protect and conserve marine park values;
  * identify changes in management context and priorities;
  * consider the adequacy of knowledge of marine park values, uses, pressures, social and economic benefits and impacts;
  * consider the effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation, and the appropriateness of key indicators and performance measures;
  * identify and prioritise future management actions;
  * provide information to enable adaptive management; and
  * inform the development of a new management plan for the Temperate East Network at the conclusion of this plan.

The Temperate East Marine Region
The Temperate East Marine Region (region) extends from the southern boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park to Bermagui in southern New South Wales, as well as the waters surrounding Lord Howe and Norfolk islands. The region covers approximately 1.47 million km2 of temperate and subtropical waters and abuts the coastal waters of southern Queensland and New South Wales (Figure 2.1).
Traditional owners have managed and used sea country within the region for tens of thousands of years. They use and actively manage the coastal and marine environments of the region as a resource and to maintain cultural identity, health and wellbeing. Fishing, hunting and the maintenance of culture and heritage through ritual, stories and traditional knowledge continue as important uses of near shore and adjacent areas.
The region is popular for activities such as fishing, snorkelling, diving and boating. Tourism operators offer unique experiences for visitors to enjoy the offshore reefs, islands, cays and deep-water environments. Although many of the marine parks are remote and far offshore, opportunities exist for recreational use, particularly around Solitary Islands,
