Status classification up to 2012/13

The second RBMPs generally show status classification up to 2012/13 and at that time many measures were only in the process of being implemented. Lag times in the recovery of plant and animal communities and groundwater response times can also cause long delays in recovery of status after pressures have been reduced. With this in mind, the impact of the measures from the first RBMPs on the status reported in the second RBMPs may be expected to be small.
