New national Alliance of Traditional Owners with Sea Country rights
Have you heard of the Sea Country Alliance? The group formed at national meeting of Traditional Owners in November last year, representing a step forward in realising the crucial role that Traditional Owners play in protecting and managing their offshore rights.
The Alliance recently announced its inaugural co-chairs, Mabuyag Malu Ki’ai woman Dr Heron Loban, and Yamatji-Nanda man Gareth Ogilvie.
The Sea Country Alliance is mandated to ensure the complexity of Traditional Owner rights for seas, oceans and coastal areas are recognised. The Alliance will seek to ensure that that in policy and regulation, Sea Country is recognised not just as a resource but as a cultural place providing sustenance for plants, animals, people and culture.
