Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 5) 2001

Explanatory note

The object of this Order is to list the aquatic ecological community in the natural drainage system of the lower Murray River catchment in Part 3 of Schedule 4 to the Act (Endangered ecological communities), as recommended by the Committee.

The Committee has recommended this listing because it considers that the community is likely to become extinct in nature in New South Wales unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival cease to operate.

The Committee’s recommendation is available for inspection at all NSW Fisheries
Offices.
