Goal
Goal
To have conservation strategies that contribute to maintaining turtle and dugong populations at current or higher levels throughout their range in the Great Barrier Reef Region, whilst providing for their traditional, cultural use by Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders.
The strategies are to be implemented with consideration of the biological constraints of the species and through negotiation with scientists, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders, conservation groups, the commercial fishing industry, management agencies and the general public.
