Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation
Wetlands not Wastelands

Earthwatch provided training to 20 CLCAC Indigenous Land and Environment Rangers and 30 community volunteers to help deliver a first-of-its-kind marine pollution and wetland management program in the Lower Gulf of Carpentaria.

Jabalbina Aboriginal Corporation
Understanding Queensland’s Blue Carbon Resource

Using citizen science and working with the traditional knowledge of the Jabalbina Land and Sea Rangers, this program successfully raised the awareness and value of Queensland's Blue Carbon Stocks. Results helped develop a technical report highlighting the power of citizen science data in mangrove habitats, provided critical information to the development of the blue carbon market and will have enduring impact on the development of Emissions Reduction Fund, National Greenhouse Accounts and Australian Government policy.
