Abstract: | Guidelines on the translocation of species in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (the Marine Park) including Commonwealth Islands. For the purposes of these guidelines, translocation as defined in the National Translocation Policy is: ‘the movement of live aquatic material (including all stages of the organisms’ lifecycle and any derived, viable genetic material): beyond its accepted distribution to areas which contain genetically distinct populations, or to areas with superior parasite or disease status.’ The desired outcome of this guideline is to reduce the risks associated with translocation-related activities in the Marine Park through a process of risk management, including a case-by-case activity risk assessment and requiring the development of a translocation proposal for each relevant permit application. |
