Wildlife Conservation Plan for Seabirds 47

Organisations likely to be affected by the actions proposed in this plan include: international multilateral and bilateral agreements; government agencies (Commonwealth, state and territory, local), particularly those involved with coastal and island environments and conservation programs; Indigenous land and sea management groups (including ranger programmes); researchers; bird watching groups; conservation groups; wildlife interest groups; 4WD and fishing groups; environmental consulting companies; tourism operators; industry and commercial bodies; and, proponents of coastal and island development in the vicinity of important habitat. This list however should not be considered exhaustive, as there may be other interest groups that would like to be included in the future or need to be considered when specialised tasks are required.

The following table lists some of the interest groups, how they could contribute to the success of the plan and the potential benefits/impacts that may emerge from the Plan's implementation:

This plan must be formally reviewed no later than five years from when it was endorsed and made publicly available. The review will determine the performance of the plan; whether the plan continues unchanged; whether the plan is varied to remove completed actions and include new conservation priorities; or whether a wildlife conservation plan is no longer necessary for the species.

The review will be coordinated by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment in association with relevant state and territory agencies, and key stakeholder groups including scientific research organisations.

Wildlife Conservation Plan for Seabirds 51

There are 37 seabirds that are currently listed threatened under the EPBC Act.
To promote the recovery of listed threatened species, conservation advices and
where required, recovery plans, are made or adopted in accordance with Part 13 of the EPBC Act. Conservation advices provide guidance at the time of listing on known threats and priority recovery actions that can be undertaken at a local and regional level. Recovery plans describe key threats and identify specific recovery actions that can be undertaken to enable recovery activities to occur within a planned and logical national framework. The implementation of this Plan will benefit a number of threatened species and their habitats. Below is a table of threatened seabirds in Australia, and links to their approved conservation advice and/or recovery plans.

While the Wildlife Conservation Plan for Seabirds focuses on identifying and developing effective management strategies for important habitats, there are also
