Description
The Bardi Jawi Rangers program started back in late 2006 from the Dugong and Marine Turtle project facilitated through the Kimberley Land Council in partnership with the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA).
The work was based around all aspects turtle and dugong monitoring and recording which included beach and sea patrols to record turtle nesting, catch data from local hunters and the satellite tagging of dugong in partnership with Edith Cowan University over 3 consecutive years. This demonstrated experience led to travelling to Abu Dhabi and the Arabian Gulf assisting the United Arab Emirates Environment Agency with their own dugong tagging program.
