Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 1) 2004

under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

I, the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, in pursuance of section 220D of the

Fisheries Management Act 1994, make the following Order.

Dated, this 2nd day of January 2004.

IAN MICHAEL MACDONALD, M.L.C.,

Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries

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 current shark meshing program in New South Wales waters 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.
