Our Yirrganydji Rangers were out on water patrolling Yirrganydji TUMRA country. It was awesome to head out to Hastings Reef and Michaelmas Cay, and we topped off the day with a trip around Double Island.
Nothing beats a day out protecting and monitoring our beautiful sea country!

We recently took some of our Junior Rangers to Lady Elliot Island to learn more about marine life and build a deeper connection to nature.

This paradise provided an amazing backdrop for our young rangers to gain knowledge, experience, and understanding. It’s always a pleasure to see our future leaders stepping up—our future is in good hands!

A big thank you to DETSI for making this possible🤝

Strong collaboration with AIMS today as we discussed long-term sea monitoring programs and expanding opportunities for our rangers on Sea Country. There’s no better classroom or meeting room than being out on Country surrounded by the mangrove ecosystems that connect our land and sea. Looking forward to where these programs lead!🤝

Our Yirrganydji Rangers joined forces with JCUTropWater to deploy temperature loggers across our local seagrass beds. This valuable data will show us how fluctuating water temperatures are affecting these vital marine habitats.
Great teamwork protecting and monitoring our Sea Country!
