All hard coral taxa (order Scleractinia) must be reported at a species-level where possible, unless otherwise authorised by this wildlife trade operation approval.

    b) All coral taxa must be reported as harvested weight (kilograms) and number of harvested pieces (fragments or colonies).

    c) Provide an overview of the coral harvest spatial data and how this has been collected and considered in the management of the fishery.

Condition 5

The Northern Territory Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade must:

    a) limit the annual take (July 1 to June 30) of species from the fishery as described in Attachment A.
