1.8         Ensure at least all priority sites are managed under the appropriate disturbance regime and threat mitigation strategies via a suitable property, reserve or population/site prescription or management plan/system (see Action 1.1 and 2.2).  For at least high priority sites, develop site-specific management plans and implement as resources allow. Ideally, all public land supporting Spiny Rice-flower must have an active management plan approved of by the
