The prioritisation of actions needs to be undertaken by the Estuary Forum, in consultation with
stakeholders and will be pursued at the next stakeholder workshop. Factors to consider in the
selection of priority actions are, for example:
Severity of ecological or socio-economic impact in relation to the vision and strategic objectives
Availability of resources, both financial and human resources.
Detailed implementation plans for each for the issue packages or key sectors, including the
Management Action Plans for priority actions are contained in Part 2: Detailed Implementation
Plans.
