Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 1) 2002

Explanatory note

The object of this Order is to list the installation and operation of instream structures and other mechanisms that alter natural flow regimes of rivers and streams in Schedule 6 to the Act (Key threatening processes), as recommended by the Committee.

The Committee has recommended this listing because it considers that the process adversely affects 2 or more threatened species, populations or ecological communities, or could cause species, populations or ecological communities that are not threatened to become threatened.
