 4C.1 In managing the SBT Fishery under this Plan, AFMA will pursue the objective of ensuring accountability to the fishing industry and to the Australian community for management of fisheries resources.
 4C.2 The measures by which this objective is to be attained include that AFMA develop and implement, within 18 months after the commencement of this clause, a communication strategy for informing statutory fishing right holders, the fishing industry and the Australian community about the status of Southern Bluefin Tuna stocks and the management of the SBT Fishery (including preparing and disseminating regular reports about those matters).
 4C.3 The performance criteria against which the measures taken will be assessed include the following:
 (a) that AFMA has developed, implemented and documented the communication strategy mentioned in subclause 4C.2 within the time required and has procedures in place for the strategy to be reviewed annually;
 (b) that data obtained by AFMA is able to indicate the level of stakeholder satisfaction with accountability and communication of information by AFMA about the management of the SBT Fishery.
