the decline of, and support the recovery of, these five species in Australian waters. The overarching objective of this recovery plan is to assist the recovery of these species in the wild throughout their range in Australian waters by increasing their total population size, with a view to:
    * improving the population status leading to the removal of these species from the protected species list of the EPBC Act
    * ensuring that anthropogenic activities do not hinder recovery in the near future, or impact on the conservation status of the species in the future.
This recovery plan should be read in conjunction with the accompanying issues paper which has been developed to provide background information on the biology, population status and threats to the species. The issues paper and this recovery plan are available for download from the department's website at:
