Our coasts are at the heart of our Top End lifestyle.

They are central to our economic success and our culture; keeping them healthy ensures our Territory lifestyle, fishing and tourism thrives into the future.

For Indigenous people all aspects of life are intimately connected to the health of their coastal lands and seas. The Territory is famous for fishing, boating and camping thanks largely to our healthy rivers and coasts, teeming with fish and wildlife.

But our coasts are under threat and we are seeing signs of decline. It’s time to put the Plan to protect our Top End coasts into action, to help recover our Top End economy and safeguard our fishing, culture and lifestyle.
