Criteria for categorisation as migratory species
15 Criteria for categorisation as migratory species
A native species is eligible for listing in the category of migratory species at a particular time if, at that time —
either —
members of the species periodically or occasionally visit Australia or an external Territory or the exclusive economic zone; or
the species is the subject of an international agreement that relates to the protection of migratory species and that binds the Commonwealth;
and
listing in that category is otherwise in accordance with the ministerial guidelines.
If a native species is listed in the category of migratory species on the basis of subsection (1)(a)(ii), the listing must specify the relevant international agreement.
