following outcomes in mind:

      * Protect – actions that prevent further decline in the conservation status of Littoral Rainforest, principally its size, condition and functional integrity.

      * Manage and restore– actions that improve the quality of patches or increase the extent of Littoral Rainforest, thus increasing the resilience of the ecological community and maximising its chances of long term survival in nature.

      * Communicate – actions that tell the story about what is happening to Littoral Rainforest, and increase knowledge of its biodiversity and socio-economic values, conservation status, actual and potential changes, management and information needs.

      * Research – actions that fill any gaps in our knowledge of Littoral Rainforest, including increasing understanding of its biodiversity values and socio-economic values, the relevant impact of threatening processes and the effectiveness of various management interventions.

      * Monitor / report – actions that measure the condition of Littoral Rainforest, and any changes to its conservation trajectory, and report outcomes to relevant management agencies / organisations

Strategy 1: Implement planning and regulatory policies and actions to protect Littoral Rainforest
Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, NRM bodies, private land owners/managers and industry bodies.
Protect the remaining distribution of Littoral Rainforest and its surrounds from:

       * coastal development and land use change, including urban development, mining and industrial development

       * climate change, particularly sea level rise impacts

Strategy 2: Implement management strategies and actions to reduce threats to Littoral Rainforest

Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, NRM bodies, community organisations, researchers.
Reduce threats to Littoral Rainforest posed by:

       * livestock grazing
       * feral animal activity
       * invasive weeds
       * pathogens and disease
       * changes in fire regime (particularly increased frequency)
       * damage and degradation by recreational and other use (vehicles, camping)
       * damage and degradation by storm surge events and extreme tides, and
       * hydrological change (e.g. to drainage and runoff from adjacent areas).

Strategy 3: Restore and extend Littoral Rainforest
Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, private land owners/managers, NRM bodies, community organisations.
Implement the following:

       * Rehabilitation and restoration activities to restore vegetation structure and control invasive plant species, and

       * Actions to increase connectivity, enhance migration and create natural buffers

Strategy 4: Engage with the broader public to increase awareness and community involvement in management and rehabilitation
Relevant for: Australian, state and local government, Indigenous land managers, private land owners/managers, NRM bodies, community organisations, science organisations.
Carry out the following:

       * Engage with Indigenous land managers to help protect and rehabilitate Littoral Rainforest on country

       * Engage with the public and local land owners/managers to promote the values of Littoral Rainforest and drive community involvement in management, and

       * Assist
