Many thanks are due to those who have contributed to this project; each individual has had considerable responsibility (and pressure) in delivering on this demanding project. It has been an exhilarating scientific and logistic challenge - despite continued and varied external demands and political problems. Special thanks to Keith Sainsbury for helping guide the project through the difficult initial setup phase. To Tim Mangan for his diplomacy and skill in the contract negotiations, and for the expert legal assistance of Jenny Lightowlers from Hunt and Hunt. To Peter Young who as Chief of the Division of Fisheries championed the cause of the project, and for his confidence in the capability of those involved in the project. To Neil Hamilton from CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology for taking part in initial discussions on the project. Finally to the Ocean Rescue 2000 Committee, in concert with ERIN (Environmental Resources Information Network) for providing the opportunity and funding to undertake a project of this scale and for sharing in the vision for a scientifically credible bioregionalisation of Australia's EEZ. Ms Jessica Farley provided much needed logistic help in putting together the final report.
