d.         Increase the size of natural buffers around patches of Littoral Rainforest at risk of erosion, inundation and landward retreat.

                                         e.         Increase protection of areas that may provide potential habitat for the landward migration of Littoral Rainforest.

                                         f.           Undertake regular monitoring to identify changes in the extent (loss and gain) of the ecological community in response to natural processes.

                                         g.         Protect and manage areas where the regeneration of Littoral Rainforest is identified.
                                     Reduce the risk, or mitigate the impacts, of natural disasters (stochastic events such as cyclones and storm surges)

                                          1. Develop guidelines for best practice management of Littoral Rainforest in preparation for, and in response to, natural disasters, including protocols for pre-event mitigation measures and post-event clean-up activities.
Action 2.8
Medium priority                          On-ground
                                         b.         Implement the guidelines for best practice management of Littoral Rainforest in response to natural disasters.

                                         c.         Monitor at risk patches of Littoral Rainforest pre and post-event and assess the effectiveness of management actions.
                                           * New transformer weed infestations are prevented in patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * The extent and/or severity of transformer weed infestation is reduced in patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * Appropriate fire management strategies are developed and implemented in the vicinity of patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * Feral animal numbers are reduced in patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * Domestic and rural animals are appropriately controlled in the vicinity of patches of Littoral Rainforest.

Performance Criteria:                      * Appropriate disease and pathogen management strategies are developed and implemented for patches of Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * Natural buffers are established, where possible, around patches of Littoral Rainforest and these areas are given increased protection

                                           * Areas that may provide for the landward migration and/or regeneration of Littoral Rainforest are given increased protection status.

                                           * Guidelines for the best practice management of Littoral Rainforest in preparation for, and in response to, natural disasters are developed and implemented.

                                           * New tourism developments are designed to avoid impacts to Littoral Rainforest.

                                           * Existing tourism infrastructure is being upgraded, where possible, to reduce impacts to Littoral Rainforest.
                                           * Australian government agencies (e.g. DoEE, CSIRO)
