Dugong and Marine Turtle Knowledge Handbook

Dugong and Marine Turtle Knowledge Handbook

Dugong and Turtle Report small

Traditional Owners from the Kimberley, Top End of the Northern Territory, southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Cape York and the Torres Strait have joined forces to develop community-driven approaches to the sustainable management of marine turtles and dugongs in northern Australia.

Coordinated by the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA) and the CRC for Tropical Savannas, the Dugong and Marine Turtle project takes a fresh approach by ensuring that Traditional Owners and Indigenous communities are driving research and management activities.
