and banking of seed of threatened Norfolk Island plants supports the TSAP target 13: At least 80% of nationally listed threatened plant species are secured in insurance collections by 2027.
    * Some actions in the plan will make species populations less vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate, linking to TSAP target 7: Impacts of climate change on priority species and places are identified and actions are underway to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity.
    * The target to reduce the free-roaming cat population supports TSAP target 9: Feral cats and foxes are managed across all priority places where they are a key threat to condition, using best practice methods for the location.
    * Management to respond to invasions on Phillip Island or respond to fires links to TSAP target 17: Emergency response management and planning for critical biodiversity assets improves across all jurisdictions.
    * More generally, the targets in the plan, and indicators that will be developed to measure them, will inform how condition of Norfolk Island (as a priority place under the TSAP) is defined and how actions are prioritised.

5.2.1        Social and economic impacts
The overall economic impact of the plan is expected to be positive. Tourism is the major industry on Norfolk Island, and nature conservation already makes an important contribution to supporting it, with most tourists visiting the national park and some travelling to the island specifically for its wildlife. Enhancing populations of threatened species and the overall biodiversity of the Norfolk Island Group is likely to provide additional opportunities for nature-based tourism, though these will need to be carefully managed to avoid unintended impacts on the environment. Delivery of the actions in the plan may also create opportunities for direct
