I would first like to thank everyone who took the time to partake in my research. Without you, this research would not have happened and I would not have learned so much. I would like to thank my supervisors, Associate Professor Mark Hamann, Emeritus Professor Helene Marsh, and Dr. Claudia Benham, for their guidance throughout this process and for their unwavering support. I would also like to thank Associate Professor Alison Cottrell for her guidance at the beginning of my PhD. Mark took me on as a student after an introduction from a former colleague in The Bahamas, having never even met me. Helene has been an incredible mentor, always making time for me in her busy schedule (even after ‘retirement’) and providing me with opportunities to grow outside of academia. Claudia and Alison were both incredibly patient with me as I transitioned from a marine biologist to a marine social scientist, always providing constructive feedback. Further, I am so thankful to my lab group for their support over the last few years. Thank you so much for making my transition to a new country and a new PhD much easier. Our lab group has been a great support system and helped me improve my presentation skills, writing skills, and make friends along the way. Thank you to my friends, both near and far, who helped keep me steady and healthy on this journey. To my ‘Skort Squad’, Katie and Suzanne, thank you so much for the laughs, the counselling, and the lessons you have taught me. You’ve helped me grow so much as a person over these last 3.5 years. Big hugs and love to Grace and Madie, and all of my other friends who have been such an integral part of my journey. Thank you to my support system from afar, Devangi, Gracie, Courtney, Kari, Caitlyn, and Colleen, for always believing in me and supporting me in whatever adventure I undertake. I owe so much to my family who set me on my academic journey over ten years ago, but whose role in this started much earlier. To my mom and dad, who never told me “no”, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for planting that seed into my head when you said “I always thought you would get a PhD” after I said I was finished with school at the end of my Master’s degree. To my siblings, Allie and Raymond, for their support along the way. Give Moose a big snuggle for me. Thank you also to Jane and Leon and the rest of the Kippin clan for being my family away from home. Thank you to my partner, Calum, for your patience during this process. Thank you for being my editor and sounding board. You have been unwavering in your support, calming my anxieties and self-doubt, and I owe you so much. Thank you for the laughter, for moving me outside of my comfort zone, and for keeping me grounded. Thank you for bringing Lewy into our lives, whose snuggles and silliness has given me much joy during long writing days at home. And finally, thank you to the academic women who paved the way for me to undertake this PhD process. I have learned so much from the women who came before me and from the women who are on this journey with me. Being surrounded by so many strong women in academia helped me to find my voice and passion and I hope to be such an example for other women. iv Thesis Abstract Managing threats towards marine migratory species is difficult because the movements of these species are not limited by political jurisdictions. Effective governance of these species requires collaborative and adaptive interventions that are designed and implemented by multiple governance bodies across levels (e.g. local, state, federal government agencies; NGOs; industry bodies). However, although the involvement of diverse stakeholder groups has long been understood to be an integral component of collaborative and adaptive governance of natural resources, it does not come without its challenges. Thus, in order to promote the effective and efficient governance of threats towards marine migratory species throughout their range, it is important to explore the governance system protecting them. My research is one of the first studies to focus on the governance of threats towards marine migratory species within Australian waters, with an emphasis on stakeholder involvement in the governance of threats towards these species.

    MICROCLIMATIC ASPECTS OF RETREAT SITE AND BASKING SITE SELECTION BY THE TASMANIAN TIGER SNAKE, Notechis ater sp. (Serpentes: Elapidae). PATRICK BRIAN WHITAKER Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours ----- Department of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart 1992 This thesis is dedicated to those who, in the future, may wish to use the information therein for the benefit of the snake. Abstract The thermal ecologies of two elevationally isolated populations of adult female Tasmanian Tiger Snakes (Notechis ater sp.) were investigated using stomach implanted radiotelemetry and a comprehensive microclimate monitoring programme. The study sites were Egg Islands, in the Huon Valley in southeastern Tasmania, and at Lake Crescent, on the lower Western Central Plateau of Tasmania. The study had four primary ~ims: (i) to determine the microclimatic conditions associated with retreat site and basking site selection; (ii) to record and compare behavioural thermoregulatory response to micrometeorological variation; (iii) to monitor diel rhythmicity and range of body temperatures; (iv) to determine voluntary thermal limits and eccritic body temperatures. This information was used in two ways: firstly, to identify the preferred physical microhabitat of this species; and secondly, to develop two predictive models of adult female Tiger Snake activity. The first is a relatively simple empirical model based on microclimatic correlates of body temperature; the second, a biophysical approach involving analysis of the snake's energy budget. Development of the first model required identification of those environmental parameters and quantities which: (i) trigger emergence; (ii) determine the amount of time necessary for the daily warm-up phase in differing micrometeorological conditions; (iii) allow the animal to move about within its home-range; and (iv) trigger entry into retreat sites.

The task has been one of research, compilation, and abridgment, of a pleasant nature, undertaken during leisure evenings, after official hours spent in duties and undertakings of a kindred description. Numerous authorities have been consulted, and in some important instances, freely borrowed from ; amongst which, may be mentioned, former numbers of the Nautical Magazine, the Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, published accounts of voyages, personal memoirs, hydrographic works, the Naval Chronicle, Marshall, and O'Bymes Naval Biographies, &c. The object aimed at has been, to produce in a condensed form, a work, useful for hydrographic reference, and sufficiently matter of fact, for any amongst the naval surveyors of the past, who may care to take it up, for reference—and at the same time,—to handle dry dates and figures, in such a way, as to render such matter, sufficiently light and entertaining, for the present and rising generation of naval officers, who, possessing a taste for similar labours to those enumerated, may elect a hydrographic career.

    Sydney Bournda National Park South Coast An amazing strip of national parks follows the southern coastline, inviting you to discover and uncover. Along the coast, spotted gums, hundreds of years old, stretch to the sky, providing food and habitat to endangered native species. For some, the appeal is the colourful bird life and cheeky native animals. For others, it’s the grandeur of the endless blue ocean – sometimes calm, sometimes boisterous – as the waves crash noisily over the golden sand. Whales, dolphins, penguins and seals fi nd sanctuary here, while up in the sky you may spot a sea eagle gliding on the breeze.
