This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "Mapping critical habitat in Yanyuwa Sea Country". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata. Marra and li-Anthawirriyarra rangers seek to build on existing partnerships with CDU and JCU to map the intertidal habitats of the Yanyuwa Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) and coastal areas connected to it, an area of profound importance to these communities and the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Carpentaria (GoC). Significant co-funding will be provided by the Mabunji Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) and DAWE Migratory Species Section to conduct a large-scale mapping project that will inform Marra and Yanyuwa community decisions that underpin sustainable management and facilitate continued connection with sea country. Co-funding from NESP2 is sought to provide salary for data processing and reporting for these surveys. This project also leverages existing funding allocated to training, capacity building, community consultation and communication products committed to by the rangers, CDU, JCU, the Australian and the NT Governments. Planned Outputs • Benthic survey data and habitat maps [spatial dataset] • Final technical report with analysed data and a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]
