Explanatory note

Explanatory note

Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Act) deals with the conservation of threatened species, populations and ecological communities of fish and marine vegetation. For the purposes of identification and classification, provision is made for the listing:

(a)	in Schedule 4 to the Act, of endangered species, endangered populations, and endangered ecological communities and species that are presumed to be extinct, and
(b)	in Schedule 5, of vulnerable species, and
(c)	in Schedule 6, of key threatening processes.

Under the Act, listings and amendments to listings are to be made by the Minister by order on the recommendation of the Fisheries Scientific Committee (the Committee).

The object of this Order is to list the following processes in Schedule 6 to the Act

(Key threatening processes), as recommended by the Committee:

(a)	Introduction of fish to waters within a river catchment outside their natural range (which the Committee has recommended be listed in Schedule 6 because the process adversely affects 2 or more threatened species, populations or ecological communities, and could cause species, populations or ecological communities that are not threatened to become threatened),
(b)	Removal of large woody debris from New South Wales rivers and streams (which the Committee has recommended be listed in Schedule 6 because the process adversely affects more than 2 threatened species and could cause species that are not threatened to become threatened).
