Arnhem Land Marine Rescue Community Project - World Expeditions Dhimurru Rangers Participatory Conservation Work Sydney NT
Arnhem Land Marine Rescue Community Project -
World Expeditions Dhimurru Rangers
The North East Arnhemland Coast is one of Australia’s most beautiful coastlines, virtually free from development and enjoying the custodianship of the Yolngu Aboriginal Traditional owners. However this pristine coastline is facing an environmental threat from marine debris washed in on the ocean currents, from throughout the South East Asian region and deposited on the Arnhemland Coast. This waste is a major threat to the wildlife, as animals get caught up in the nets and choke on the plastic rubbish. This project works alongside the Yolngu Aboriginal Rangers from Dhimurru Land Management as we together collect, catalogue and dispose of the marine rubbish, and also learn from Traditional Yolngu Aboriginal knowledge and understanding of the land, sea and animals
