- declaring the Victorian Sea Urchin Fishery, as managed consistent with the Victorian Fisheries Act 1995, as an Approved Wildlife Trade Operation under section 303FN of the EPBC Act; and
- including on the list of exempt native specimens, specimens harvested in the Victorian Sea Urchin Fishery in accordance with the Victorian Fisheries Act 1995.
