Developing collaborative marine turtle monitoring in the Kimberley region of northern Australia. (15th September 2015) - Jackson, Micha V.
Abstract : Contemporary land and sea management – driven by community‐based planning and informed by traditional and local knowledge and scientific research – can significantly improve both biodiversity and cultural outcomes. Here, we describe the context and process of developing a boat‐based survey approach to marine turtle monitoring by Indigenous rangers using a collaborative partnership model that supports Traditional Owner aspirations and conservation objectives.
