  3.2            Monitoring, evaluation and reporting
The Director, in consultation with the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park advisory committee and other relevant stakeholders and experts, will monitor, evaluate and report on the implementation of this plan. This will include:
      * developing a baseline understanding of marine park values that recognises how baselines may shift over time in the context of a changing climate and other evolving pressures
      * evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of management actions under this plan in achieving the marine park's objectives, goals and desired outcomes
      *
