Action No.  Action Description                                                                                          Action Details                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Performance criteria
5.1         Develop and disseminate a water mouse adaptive management plan template.                                    Develop a short (approximately 3-page) water mouse adaptive management plan template for distribution (see Action 5.2 for required content).                                                                                                                                                                  Action completed (yes/no)
            Responsibility:                                                                                             Disseminate the template, along with locally relevant information brochures (see Actions 3.2 and 4.1), to land managers and Custodians with current and historical water mouse detections on the land for which they have custodianship and who:
            Water Mouse Recovery Team.                                                                                  • Are yet to develop a broad land management plan, or
                                                                                                                        • Are unable to update the current broad land management plan in a timely manner.
5.2         Water Mouse adaptive management plan development.                                                           Ensure a water mouse adaptive management plan is in place for all locations with current and historical water mouse detections. Locations under pressure (Section 4.12) and locations in protected areas (Section 4.14) are to be prioritised.                                                                Proportion of the known water mouse distribution covered by an adaptive management plan that directly addresses threats to this species.
            Responsibility:                                                                                             Adaptive water mouse management plans must:
            Land managers and Custodians with the support of ecological consultants and the Water Mouse Recovery Team.  • Identify known and potential water mouse locations within, and adjacent to, the management area,
                                                                                                                        • Identify known and potential water mouse threats and their interaction with the water mouse within the management area,
                                                                                                                        • Outline management actions to reduce the impact of local threats to the water mouse and its habitat within the defined management area,
                                                                                                                        • Include effective and standardised (repeatable) methods for monitoring water mouse threat trends, and
                                                                                                                        • Include effective and standardised (repeatable) methods for monitoring water mouse population trends (see Actions 6.1 and 6.2).
                                                                                                                        Adaptive water mouse management plans are to be reviewed at appropriate intervals depending on the water mouse trajectory and threat level. At a minimum, each adaptive management plan is to be reviewed following each water mouse population monitoring event (see Action 6.2 for monitoring intervals).
                                                                                                                        Adaptive management plans may require review when significant new and relevant information about the water mouse or its threats comes to light.
