recovery process

It is anticipated that the recovery process will not be achieved prior to the scheduled
five year review of the recovery plan. The 2013 Recovery Plan for the White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) in Australia will therefore remain in place until such time as
the Australian population of the white shark has improved to the point at which the
population no longer meets threatened species status under the EPBC Act.

The cost of implementation of this plan should be incorporated into the core business expenditure of the affected organisations and through additional funds obtained for the explicit purpose of implementing this recovery plan. It is expected that state and Commonwealth agencies will use this plan to prioritise actions to protect the species and enhance its recovery, and that projects will be undertaken according to agency priorities and available resources. Actions which cross jurisdictional boundaries (i.e. states and Commonwealth) may be funded jointly on agreement by relevant parties.

15 Affected interests

Organisations likely to be affected by the actions proposed in this plan include Australian,
state and Northern Territory government agencies, particularly those involved with environmental and fisheries concerns, commercial and recreational fishers, local Indigenous communities, researchers, tourism operators, conservation groups, wildlife interest groups,
and proponents of coastal development in the vicinity of important habitat areas. This list should not be considered exhaustive. There may be other interest groups that would like to be included
in the future or need to be considered when specialised tasks are required.

16 Efficient and effective use of resources

In order to maximise the conservation outcomes and cost effectiveness of this plan,
the actions proposed in this recovery plan complement those of other threatened species recovery plans (e.g. the Recovery Plan for the Grey Nurse Shark (Carcharias taurus)).

17 Consultation

The 2013 Recovery Plan for the White Shark (Carcharias taurus) in Australia has been developed through extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders. The review
of the 2002 White Shark (Carcharias taurus) Recovery Plan (EA, 2002) was completed in November 2008, with the assistance of the then National Shark Recovery Group (NSRG).
The review was completed by the department and tabled at the 37th meeting of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee — established under the EPBC Act — in November 2008 prior to being endorsed by the then Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts.

The NSRG comprised representatives from relevant Australian Government agencies, all
states and the Northern Territory, and key 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
