The Threatened Species Scientific Committee received a public nomination in May 2025 to assess the Shy Albatross subspecies (*Thalassarche cauta* ssp. Albatross Island) for separate EPBC Act listing. The nomination was included in the 2025 Proposed Priority Assessment List submitted to the Committee for review alongside 14 other species, 4 ecological communities, and one threatening process. The documents show this nomination met the regulatory requirements under section 194F of the EPBC Act and was distributed to Committee members for consideration at their subsequent meeting, where they would determine whether to recommend the subspecies for inclusion on the priority assessment list and provide recommendations to the Minister.
