Version Author Authority Comment MPA response Rev3 Rev3 Rev3 Rev3 Rev3 Oceanica Oceanica Oceanica Oceanica Oceanica OEPA OEPA OEPA OEPA OEPA MPA Response Agreed. Geo-referenced habitat surveys conducted in late October 2011 found coral habitats in close proximity to the aquaculture lease. These have been taken into consideration in the revised EMMP, and EQG developed in this context. For example, monitoring against the EQS for corals is triggered upon an exceedance of TSS or LAC at the MEPA site located 200 m downstream, of the sea-cages. If the EQG is triggered, and cages are less than 50 m from the MEPA/HEPA boundary, then it is considered that corals on the western end of Turtle Island may be at risk. MPA Response This metric of coral health has been removed from the revised EMMP. MPA Response Minor revision may be undertaken provided the changes do not affect the content of the Key Management Actions Table (Error! Reference source not found.) (DoE 2006b). Any significant changes to the EMMP will be undertaken in consultation with the OEPA. Any exceedance of the EQG or EQS will be reported to the OEPA within one working day of determining that the exceedance has occurred. MPA Response The sentence has been removed from the revised EMMP. MPA Response This text and Figure have been removed from the revised EMMP.

The revised monitoring program samples along a downstream gradient. All of the reference sites have now been placed north of the aquaculture lease. MPA Response In the revised EMMP, chlorophyll-a is to be sampled using the depth integrated method. The method is designed to capture the phytoplankton biomass occupying the photic zone of the water column. The revised EMMP will use Excel to calculate percentiles. MPA Response Agreed. The revised monitoring program samples along a downstream gradient. MPA Response Agreed. The sites chosen at random will be locked in for future sampling events. MPA Response Agreed. The revised EMMP has been updated to include total ammonia.
