* Note that the Western Grey harvest in Western Australia was above the quota. The Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management undertook a review to determine how the quota overrun occurred. The review revealed errors in data entry, delays in entering data and in harvest return follow-ups. As a result of the review, the harvest is being monitored more stringently by Western Australia.
