Duration and cost of recovery process

The recovery process will take longer than the life of this plan (2011 – 2016), which should be reviewed after 5 years. A recovery plan for threatened albatrosses and giant petrels should remain in place until such time that populations of these species breeding and / or foraging within Australian jurisdiction have improved to the point where populations are considered secure.

The cost of this plan will be met through various direct and indirect funding activities undertaken by the Commonwealth Government, State and Territory governments, researchers, conservation groups, marine based industries and the Australian public. While some indicative costings have been included, the costing of specific actions will be determined at the time of activity.
