Exclusions
The primary focus of Strategy 1.3 of the NES is to, ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain
viable’. Species that fell under the following categories were excluded from Table 5 (not shortlisted), as the
following species attributes do not satisfy the general requirements for an indicator species.

    o     Migratory species with no regionally confirmed breeding activity
          Migratory Species (such as some shorebirds) which seasonally occur but do not breed within the Noosa
          Region, are not suitable indicator species for ecosystem health changes. This is because their regional
          presence may be a result of external impacts when the species is located outside of the Region.
