ACAP priority populations Clause Samples
The 'ACAP priority populations' clause defines specific groups that are given precedence or special consideration within the context of a program, policy, or service administered by the Australian Community Assistance Program (ACAP). This clause typically outlines which populations—such as Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities, or those experiencing homelessness—are to be prioritized for access to resources or support. By clearly identifying these groups, the clause ensures that assistance is directed toward those most in need, thereby promoting equity and effective allocation of limited resources.
ACAP priority populations. (i) Highlight the need to complete the revision and updating of the Binational Action Plan on the Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata, including a more concrete reference to tourism and related issues.
ACAP priority populations. (i) Advised and encouraged Peru and Ecuador to implement the Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata Action Plan to the extent possible.
(ii) Supported the establishment of an ad hoc intersessional group including members of PaCSWG, SBWG, and others to provide advice, when requested, on priority conservation actions for ACAP Priority Populations, e.g. the Waved Albatross P. irrorata. Such requests would be made to the ACAP Secretariat in the first instance.
ACAP priority populations. (i) Requested that Parties develop a list of priority research and conservation actions for each of the Priority Populations where they are currently lacking, and report to each AC meeting on progress in implementing those activities.
(ii) Requested that PaCSWG, with the assistance of SBWG, develop a template to assist reporting on progress of key actions for each of the Priority Populations.
(iii) Encouraged Range States to share responsibility for priority research and conservation actions in the breeding and foraging grounds of the Priority Populations.
(iv) Encouraged the Secretariat to ensure that their engagement with RFMOs is both strategic and targeted to ensure that attention to mitigation strategies focuses on the high Priority Populations, where appropriate.
(v) Endorsed facilitating sharing of conservation outreach tools and products on the ACAP website.
ACAP priority populations. 12.8.1 Following a request from the SBWG to identify an interim list of priority populations on which ACAP might focus ahead of the outcome of at-sea prioritisation assessment, the joint WG examined the available data on population size and trends in the ACAP database. This identified five populations representing sizeable proportions (>10% of the global total) that were declining rapidly (>3% per annum), for which a major underlying cause was incidental mortality in fisheries. These were the Wandering Albatross population at South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur)1 that had already been identified, Black-browed Albatrosses at South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur)1, Tristan Albatrosses at ▇▇▇▇▇ Island, and Sooty Albatrosses Phoebetria fusca at the Crozet and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ islands. These were all considered to be of high-priority, and the WGs agreed that addressing threats to their population required urgent and coordinated international action. Detailed assessments for each of these populations appear in ANNEX 10 and will be posted on the ACAP website.
