A great two days at the Australian Marine Turtle Symposium, learning about the latest research, sharing knowledge, and connecting with people working towards marine turtle conservation across Australia. 🐢🌊

Always valuable to bring new knowledge and ideas back to our work on Gumbaynggirr Sea Country and continue strengthening our approach to turtle monitoring and conservation.

Looking forward to putting what we learnt into practice and continuing to bring science and traditional knowledge together to care for Sea Country.

A great day connecting with the Barray Rangers!

Our team had the pleasure of welcoming the Barray Rangers to Coffs Harbour, sharing our current projects and showcasing some of the equipment we use on sea country to monitor our beautiful Coast, including our vessel Ranger one.

It was wonderful to hear from the team about the beginning of their journey to their current projects they are working on across their own country, and aspirations for the future.

There's something special about connecting with other Ranger groups and mobs who share the same passion and commitment to protecting and caring for the country. It's these connections, shared knowledge and collective efforts that help keep our country strong and healthy.

A big thank you to the Barray rangers for taking the time to visit, share knowledge and yarn with us. We look forward to staying connected and to continue to learn from one another and wish them a safe trip back home.”

Our Sea Rangers recently joined OzFish for a community clean-up around Sawtell, working together to care for Country and keep our waterways and coastline healthy.

Together, we collected 4.7 kg of rubbish — much of it made up of small pieces of litter — including an incredible 349 cigarette butts. 🚯

Every piece of rubbish removed is one less threat to our waterways, wildlife and Sea Country.

Small actions. Big impact. Caring for Country together.

We are now in Guunuga!
The days are getting warmer and longer, the flowers are blooming and the animals are breeding.
Be mindful of the migratory birds landing on our sandy shores. This is their time to rest, recover and eat, so please be quiet, give them space, and make sure your pets aren't disturbing them.
Also, keep an eye out for the Gurruuja (whale) coming close to our shores with buwaarr (baby). 🐋🌞🪷🪺

Della and Katrina proudly represented our team at our very first AMSA conference in Canberra last week.

More than 600 delegates from across the country came together to share knowledge, lived experience and the inspiring work already making a difference across Sea Country. It was wonderful to see our team recognised through our partners’ posters and presentations throughout the event. Our presentation highlighted the power of genuine collaboration with First Nations peoples and the importance of bringing traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge together to care for Country in stronger, more respectful ways.

If you would like to learn more about how our team and others are caring for Sea Country, we would love to connect and continue the conversation.

A bird flu workshop was held for Indigenous groups to inform, support and guide those working on Country about the impacts of avian influenza. Delivered in partnership with NSW DCCEEW's northeast Saving Our Species team and our Sea Rangers, the workshop aimed to:
- Educate participants about bird flu
- Develop cultural protocols for deceased birds and mammals
- Train participants to act as first responders and collect samples
- Support knowledge sharing

Given the global significance of avian influenza, it is important to raise public awareness of the risks to wildlife, the environment and communities, while also highlighting the work Indigenous Rangers are doing to respond to bird flu.

We thank everyone who attended, as well as representatives from Aboriginal Affairs and DPIRD for their presentations.
