stakeholder groups, including the Humane Society International, TRAFFIC, representatives from the commercial and recreational fishing sectors, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (refer to Appendix 3 for a full list of NSRG representatives).

The review found that although progress had been made on many of the actions listed in the recovery plan there was no evidence to suggest a recovery of the white shark population in Australian waters. The review recommended that the 2002 White Shark (Carcharias taurus) Recovery Plan be varied to remove completed actions and include new conservation priorities.

Following endorsement by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee to prepare a revised white shark recovery plan, a stakeholder workshop was held in March 2009 with members from the NSRG and selected shark experts to develop a new recovery plan for the white shark.
The revised recovery plan was sent to the Federal environment minister in March 2010 for agreement to enter into the public consultation period. The draft revised recovery plan and issues paper were open to public consultation in April 2010 for a period of three months.

18 Organisations/
persons involved
in evaluating the performance of
the plan

This plan should be reviewed no later than five years from when it was endorsed and made publically available. The review will determine the performance of the plan and assess:
   * whether the plan continues unchanged, is varied to remove completed actions,
     or varied to include new conservation priorities
   * whether a recovery plan is no longer necessary for the species as either conservation
     advice will suffice, or the species is removed from the threatened species list.

As part of this review, the listing status of the species will be assessed against
the EPBC Act species listing criteria.

The review will be coordinated by DSEWPaC in association with relevant Australian
and state government agencies and key stakeholder groups such as commercial and recreational fishing sectors, non-governmental organisations, tourism operators and
scientific research organisations.
