D.1. Examine the significance of deliberate attracting actions on the behaviour and movement of white sharks.                                                                                                                                 Research conducted to report to the Recovery Team within five years of this plan  Completed. The research concluded that the impacts of berleying appeared to have a localised effect increasing the detection rate of sharks for a relatively short period at sites close to the berleying operation but no significant long-term effects.
D.2. Ensure minimised disturbance to white sharks by marine based tourism activities, including through development and implementation of code of conduct, and review of those codes and review effectiveness of existing codes of conduct,   Minimised disturbance                                                             Completed.
