The Rangers have continued their work with the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). AIMS and the Rangers are key partners in a collaborative project to monitor the health of sea country.
The team recently done some water quality training and sampling.
The Women Rangers tested the first two sites the and the men completed the second two sites.
The marine biodiversity survey project began in 2020. It has given the Thamarrurr Rangers the opportunity to receive training in techniques to monitor their marine environment. The project uses a blend of western science and traditional ecological knowledge.
It is hoped that monitoring will be continued into the future as part of a long-term program to help track changes and identify threats to Thamarrurr sea country.
