About the documents

In 2007 the Great Australian Bight Marine Park Steering Committee commissioned a study by the South Australian Research and Development Institute into the effectiveness of the Great Australian Bight Marine Park in protecting the Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) from by-catch mortality in shark gillnets. The final report of the study was completed in mid 2009 and, following peer review in January 2010, was released for public dissemination.
