                                  1. Investigate the ecological interactions occurring between different fire regimes and weed incursions.

Action 2.5                        2. Undertake research to assess the broader effects of different fire regimes on Littoral Rainforest.
Medium priority
                                  3. Develop a set of criteria for determining when control burns may be acceptable for reducing fuel loads in the vicinity of Littoral Rainforest.
                                 On-ground
                                 d.         If control burns are undertaken, implement appropriate hazard reduction zones in the vicinity of patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                 e.         Ensure post-fire monitoring is undertaken and, where required, implement post-fire rehabilitation activities.
                             Minimise the impacts of tourism and visitor disturbance
                               Research / Information
                                   1. Undertake sociological research to better understand tourist use of Littoral Rainforest and identify potential methods for reducing visitor disturbance
                                   2. Identify high-traffic areas where tourism is likely to be impacting upon Littoral Rainforest.

                                   3. Assess whether introduced pathogen levels and weed invasion are correlated with visitation rates.

Action 2.6                         4. Investigate the effectiveness of various environmentally friendly tourism infrastructure options, such as raised walking platforms.

                               On-ground
                                 e.       Develop site specific management actions for high traffic sites to reduce impacts on Littoral Rainforest from the use of existing infrastructure.

                                 f.         Identify opportunities for infrastructure, including roads, tracks and aqueducts that are no longer required, to be removed or altered to restore Littoral Rainforest.

                                 g.       Ensure appropriate placement of any new paths/tracks and public amenities within the vicinity of patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                 h.       Ensure that new infrastructure, including roads, tracks, trails and other infrastructure, is planned to avoid impacts to the biodiversity, structural integrity and functionality Littoral Rainforest.

                                     Reduce the risk of coastal erosion or changed depositional environment

                                          1. Identify key sites at risk of erosion, inundation and landward retreat.

                                          2. Identify areas where there is room for the landward migration of Littoral Rainforest.

                                          3. Undertake research to improve understanding of Littoral Rainforest ecology (e.g. biotic and abiotic interactions, range shifts and succession trajectories).
