RESEARCHERS MEET TRINITY INLET
TRADITIONAL OWNERS
“What we know about Trinity
Inlet” was the theme for an information-sharing workshop held
in Cairns in March. CRC Reef scientists from Department of Primary
Industries and Fisheries Northern Fisheries Centre, and other managers,
met with Cairns Traditional Owners, to talk about ways to work together
more closely.
Researchers Michael Rasheed, Kerry Neil, Stuart Hyland, Darren
Rose, and John Russell presented summaries of their work on seagrass
beds, port surveys, introduced pests, barramundi and mudcrab monitoring,
and the East Trinity rehabilitation project. Cathy Rankin (State
Development) talked about Indigenous aquaculture opportunities.
In smaller mixed discussion groups, Traditional Owners from Yirragandgi
Aboriginal Corporation, Gungandji Aboriginal Corporation, Giangurra
Aboriginal Corporation, Gimuy Cultural Development Corporation,
and the North Queensland Land Council shared their aspirations for
greater involvement in research and management of their sea country.
