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.
Support the petition to phase out gillnets in the Northern Territory, protecting threatened marine species like turtles, dugongs, and sawfish. Following Queensland's successful model, we urge NT's leaders to act, ensuring the sustainability of our marine ecosystems and the preservation of our Top End lifestyle. Join us in protecting our marine heritage.
