four targeted site visits annually to provide a measure of breeding success. Every three years, conduct bi-monthly nest monitoring, over a minimum of three nights of four-hour search sessions, to provide an estimate of population size and colony expansion. Near-fledged birds should be banded with ABBBS bands.
The Lord Howe Island Biodiversity Management Plan covers the recovery needs of this species on the Lord Howe Island group. Possible future actions may need to be undertaken in collaboration with the NSW Government as appropriate.

Recovery target
The recovery target is shown in Table 60.
