Actions and Recovery Criteria

To fulfil these objectives, actions are designed to identify and reduce threats to marine turtles, determine levels of mortality and reduce that mortality. The need to make informed decisions based on the best available information is acknowledged as a principal activity of this plan. A table showing the relevant actions and recovery criteria are shown within the text describing each threat.

The Recovery Team noted the continued decline of the eastern Australian population of the loggerhead turtle and identified the need for its conservation to be implicit in all actions.

The recovery of marine turtles will take time. The assessment of the actions against the criteria for success is essential for the successful recovery of the species of marine turtles identified in this plan.
