Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 2) 2000

Explanatory note

The object of this Order is to list the grey nurse shark in Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Act (Endangered species) and, as a consequence, to omit this species from Schedule 5 to the Act (Vulnerable species), as recommended by the Committee. The Committee has recommended that this species be listed in Part 1 of Schedule 4 because it considers that the species is likely to become extinct in nature in New South Wales unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival or evolutionary development cease to operate.
