Monitoring, evaluation and reporting

The Director, in consultation with the Christmas Island Marine Park advisory committee and other relevant stakeholders and experts, will monitor, evaluate and report on the implementation of this plan. This will include:

      * developing a baseline understanding of marine park values that recognises how baselines may shift over time in the context of a changing climate and other evolving pressures

      * evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of management actions under this plan in achieving the marine park's objectives, goals and desired outcomes

      * identifying changes in management context and adapting and changing management actions as required to ensure the environment is protected in the most effective way possible

      * considering the adequacy of knowledge of marine park values, uses, pressures, social and economic benefits and impacts

      * using new and existing knowledge and expertise on management approaches to support marine park management

      * informing the development of the next management plan for Christmas Island Marine Park.

Monitoring, evaluation and reporting will ensure park managers, the Christmas Island Marine Park community advisory committee and other stakeholders have access to relevant information about park and management performance in line with the points outlined above. Specific arrangements will be developed in consultation with the advisory committee, stakeholders and experts and seek to complement the Director's annual corporate planning and performance reporting requirements.

In the final 2 years of the management plan, a review will be undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of this plan and inform the next Christmas Island Marine Park management plan.

   1.            Community advisory committee

A Christmas Island based advisory committee was established to support the preparation of this management plan and advise on management activities following the marine park's proclamation. A new Christmas Island Marine Park advisory committee will be established under this plan to advise Parks Australia on the implementation of this plan. Christmas Island community members will form the majority of the committee's membership, with external scientific and other experts to be drawn in as needed.

Broadly, the role of the advisory committee will be to support Parks Australia's management of the marine park by providing advice on:

      * implementation of this management plan and associated management programs and actions

      *
