Notes:

1. The Fisheries Program outcomes are reported as part of the Environmental Management Program.

2. The Economic Development underspend is primarily due to a reduction in CDEP activity in the latter part of the reporting period.

3. The Environmental Management underspend is primarily due to a delay in a phased approach to establishing a formalised fishers program during the reporting period.
