or control any marine pests found in the park, in cooperation with other authorities involved in management of Jervis Bay as necessary.

Actions

     6.10.6        Regularly update the weed management strategy during the life of this plan. The strategy will detail weed sites, control prescriptions, monitoring actions and resources required and will be assessed in accordance with the guidelines for assessment procedures.

     6.10.7        Maintain an integrated bitou bush control program and monitor its effectiveness, amending control methods as required.

     6.10.8        Seek to establish a weed management committee for the Territory to encourage a peninsula-wide approach to weed control, particularly on Territory leases, and to inform the Board on relevant weed matters.

     6.10.9        Develop a control strategy for introduced animals including emerging pest species such as deer. The strategy will include a review of existing protocols and will detail pest control needs and priorities, control prescriptions and monitoring actions.

     6.10.10    Maintain a control program for foxes and monitor the program's effectiveness, amending control methods as required.

     6.10.11    Incorporate information on weeds and pest animals into the park's geographic information system. This may include information about land owned and managed by the Council and will be made available to the Council for management purposes.

     6.10.12    Liaise with the Council, Defence, Jervis Bay Territory Administration and Territory lessees on weed and introduced animal management matters. Provide technical assistance as required.

     6.10.13    Consult with the Council in relation to control of potential medicinal weed species before control programs are undertaken.

     6.10.14    Undertake or support appropriate further research into the impact and control of introduced species relevant to Booderee.

     6.10.15    Regularly review and implement programs to prevent non-local plant species spreading from the Botanic Gardens living collection into the rest of the park.

     6.10.16    Prevent the introduction of pests and pathogens to the Botanic Gardens living and non-living collections by regularly reviewing and updating practices and procedures.

     6.10.17                        Monitor the impact of pathogens on the Botanic Gardens living collection. Implement and regularly review the management program for the Armillaria-affected area of the Botanic Gardens.

     6.10.18                        Monitor the distribution and abundance of significant invasive species including foxes and bitou bush (see Table 9).

    6.11      Climate change

Aim
    * Climate change impacts on park values are better understood and management actions and planning are adapted to take account of the latest available information.

Background
In recent years global warming and its implications for climate change has emerged as a key issue for biodiversity and environmental management on a global scale.

The park's terrestrial and marine environments are potentially exposed to a number of impacts associated with climate change. The park is likely to experience increased annual average temperatures (with up to +4.0°C projected by 2070) and increased potential
