Teaming up for top management
The Reef Authority has developed a set of co-management principles with the Indigenous Reef Advisory Committee and Marine Park Board. These principles embrace the inherent rights and interests, expertise and knowledge and cultural authority of Traditional Owner groups to better co-manage Sea Country together.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority acknowledges the continuing Sea Country management and custodianship of the Great Barrier Reef by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners whose rich cultures, heritage values, enduring connections and shared efforts protect the Reef for future generations.
