The NAILSMA Dugong and Marine Turtle Project aims to support and
facilitate Indigenous management and sustainable use of dugong and
marine turtle.
The purpose of this report, Indigenous Management of Marine
Turtle and Dugong: legal and policy opportunities and
impediments, is to provide information and advice in relation
to the legal opportunities and impediments to increased Indigenous
management of marine turtle and dugong.
Exploration of the policy and institutional context within which
these species are managed was undertaken to clarify the nature of
existing opportunities and impediments.
