                               other areas =     Beacon suggested passage. Allows for
                               4                 adequate restoration site area at narrow
                                                 sections of the estuary while maintaining
                                                 safe navigational passage. In relative,
                                                 restoration sites will be closer to shorelines
                                                 to avoid boating interactions.
Tidal Works           + 30 m   Within 250m       Prefers restoration sites closest to access      Agreed with

                                                 included to reduce chance of damage to
