EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) proposes to develop a 20 hectare Research Lease 4 km off Hawks Nest, NSW for a period of five years. Floating sea cages anchored to the seafloor would be used to research marine finfish aquaculture in an offshore sea cage trial. The research will allow the NSW Government to extend its successful marine hatchery research at Port Stephens Fisheries Institute (PSFI). Key outcomes of this research would include: proving species suitability, validating equipment and technology, and monitoring the marine environment. The NSW Government recognises the need to look at opportunities for sustainable and viable aquaculture development that is built upon sound research. Aquaculture supports the regional economies of NSW and will be an increasingly important contributor to the future food security needs of the State. Rationale Global demand for seafood is rapidly expanding and seafood consumption per capita is increasing. In 2008, 46% of the seafood consumed worldwide was produced by aquaculture (FAO, 2010). In NSW the supply of locally caught fish is not expected to increase from current sustainable catch levels and approximately 87% of seafood purchased in NSW is imported (Wilkinson, 2004). Sustainable seafood production is a key focus of the NSW Government’s State Aquaculture Steering Committee to support future demands of food security for the state. The gap between capture fishery supply and the growing demand for seafood can only be supplied by aquaculture. Aquaculture is a relatively new food production sector in NSW with a history of strong research and development support from NSW DPI (formerly NSW Fisheries). PSFI has been working in marine finfish research since the early 1990s and Snapper (Pagrus auratus) sea cage farming research commenced in the inshore waters of Botany Bay in 1993. Successful hatchery and nursery research for Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus), Yellowtail Kingfish (Serioli lalandi) and other marine finfish also needs to be extended and validated in sea cages trials. The proposed site for the Marine Aquaculture Research Lease (Research Lease) off Port Stephens is in close proximity to PSFI which has suitable fish rearing and land based infrastructure. The proposed site also has suitable characteristics for cage based aquaculture (e.g. water quality, sandy bottom and moderate current flow), NSW Department of Primary Industries – October 2012 i Marine Aquaculture Research Lease, Providence Bay, Port Stephens, NSW – EIS. there is a history of finfish farming in the area and the harbour infrastructure of Nelson Bay is a suitable land-water interface for the project. Port Stephens is a key location in NSW for aquaculture research and the commercial production of oysters, barramundi, silver perch, freshwater crayfish and hatchery stock. Approvals Pathway Under State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development 2011) the proposal is classified as State Significant Infrastructure (Clause 14 (1)(b) and Schedule 3 (1)(1)) and requires approval from the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure under Section 115W of the Environmental and Planning Assessment Act 1979. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared to accompany the application for approval. Crown Lands have provided land holders consent to NSW DPI to lodge the application. A lease is required under the Section 163 of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 and a permit is required under the Marine Parks Act 1997. The proposed Research Lease is located in a Habitat Protection Zone of the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park and is a permissible activity in this zone. Strategic Framework The promotion of sustainable aquaculture was prioritised at the NSW Executive Food Security Group in 2011. This group tasked the government’s State Aquaculture Steering Committee to progress initiatives to further develop aquaculture. Under State Environmental Planning Policy – 62 (Sustainable Aquaculture), two strategies have been prepared to guide the development of aquaculture in NSW and promote industry best practice. They include the NSW Oyster Industry and Land Based Sustainable Aquaculture Strategies. The investigations conducted on the Research Lease in Providence Bay will provide an evidence base for the development of policy for sustainable aquaculture in the marine waters of NSW. The Proposal The proposed Research Lease will provide an opportunity for NSW DPI and research partners to extend successful marine hatchery research to its next stage in an offshore sea cage trial. It is proposed that the trial will operate for five years (from the date that the aquaculture lease is granted) to validate the commercial potential of a number of marine finfish species that occur along the NSW coast, to trial the latest sea cage technologies and undertake environmental monitoring in the coastal waters of NSW. NSW Department of Primary Industries – October 2012 ii Marine Aquaculture Research Lease, Providence Bay, Port Stephens, NSW – EIS. The Research Lease would occupy an area of 20 hectares (approximately 370 x 530 m) in Providence Bay, Port Stephens (Figure 1). The main infrastructure will consist of an anchoring and bridle system to accommodate up to eight floating double collared sea cages. The cages may range in size (18-40 m diameter) depending on the number and size of the cultured fish. Also navigation buoys will be positioned on the corners of the lease area. Figure 1: Location of the proposed Research Lease in Providence Bay, Port Stephens (Source: NSW DPI, 2012). Risk Assessment and Mitigation A risk assessment process based on the National ESD Reporting Framework: The ‘How To’ Guide for Aquaculture was used to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with the proposal. A total of 27 risk issues were identified and categorised that had potential to have an impact as a result of the proposal. These risks were identified in either the construction stage or the operational stage of the Research Lease. Eleven issues were identified as representing a ‘negligible’ risk while 12 issues were assigned a ‘low’ risk ranking. No issues were identified as representing a ‘high’ or ‘extreme’ risk but four were classified as ‘moderate’, including: impacts on marine habitats - water quality, nutrient concentrations and sedimentation; chemical use; NSW Department of Primary Industries – October 2012 iii Marine Aquaculture Research Lease, Providence Bay, Port Stephens, NSW – EIS. disease and introduced pests; and impacts on migratory pathways, behavioural changes and predatory interactions. These classifications indicate that these issues

MEDWAY 25A Norman Street, New Plymouth, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract The population of Providence petrels (Pterodroma solandri) that nested on Norfolk Island at the time of 1st European settlement of that island in 1788 was probably > 1 million pairs. Available evidence indicates that Europeans harvested many more Providence petrels in the years immediately after settlement than previously believed. About 1,000,000 Providence petrels, adults and young, were harvested in the 4 breeding seasons from 1790 to 1793 alone. Despite these enormous losses, many Providence petrels were apparently still nesting on Norfolk Island in 1795 when they are last mentioned in documents from the island. However, any breeding population that may have survived there until 1814 when Norfolk Island was abandoned temporarily was probably exterminated by the combined activities of introduced cats and pigs which had become very numerous by the time the island was re-occupied in 1825.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region.

Fishes of Wilsons Promontory and Comer Inlet. Victoria: composition and biogeographic affinities. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 57: 143-165. A diving survey of shallow-water marine fishes, primarily benthic reef fishes, was under­ taken around Wilsons Promontory and in Comer Inlet in 1987 and 1988. Shallow subtidal reefs in these regions are dominated by labrids, particularly Bluethroat Wrasse (Notolabrus tet­ ricus) and Saddled Wrasse (Notolabrus fucicola), the odacid Herring Cale (Odax cyanomelas), the serranid Barber Perch (Caesioperca rasor) and two scorpidid species, Sea Sweep (Scorpis aequipinnis) and Silver Sweep (Scorpis lineolata). Distributions and relative abundances (qualitative) are presented for 76 species at 26 sites in the region. The findings of this survey were supplemented with data from other surveys and sources to generate a checklist for fishes in the coastal waters of Wilsons Promontory and Comer Inlet. 23 I fishspecies of 92 families were identified to species level. An additional four species were only identified to higher taxonomic levels. These fishes were recorded from a range of habitat types, from freshwater streams to marine habitats (to 50 m deep).
