Non-Indigenous Marine Species Management Plan

This Plan outlines how Woodside will manage the risk of potentially introducing unwanted non-indigenous marine species with known or suspected marine pest credentials to Scott Reef, approximately 430 kilometres north of Broome, Western Australia. 
It has been developed in consultation with the Western Australian Department of Fisheries (DoF) and addresses the Ministerial conditions and procedures as listed Condition 10 of the Ministerial Conditions (Government of Western Australia, 2007). The Plan is developed specific for this short-duration activity and at Scott Reef and has been approved by DoF.

Detailed vessel information has been submitted separately to the DoF.

The Non-Indigenous Marine Species Management Plan is available for download below.
