plan for study
1. Review of relevant literature

- Obtain and evaluate data identified in the CMR Conservation Assessment
Metadata System (CAMS) database, examining data fields etc, liaise

- Locate additional/obscure data
- Compile and compare existing (published and/or grey literature)
taxonomic species lists for study area and immediately adjacent
areas (e.g. NZ and New Caledonia)
- Summarise and digitise data
- Liaison with ongoing projects: NORFANZ; bioregionalisation of
the Australian Marine Jurisdiction (AMJ) continental slope; New
Zealand seamounts program; studies by French Scientists in New Caledonia
3. Compile human use data for the offshore region
- Obtain and evaluate data identified in CAMS database, examining
data fields etc, liaise with data holders to obtain the most relevant
data-sets
- Locate additional/ obscure data
- Liaise with stakeholders who might provide information
- Summarise and digitise data
4. Identify and establish contact with stakeholder groups
