This project will identify how to include social and cultural analysis into protected area management arrangements, to enhance the protection of Moreton Bay Marine Park and other marine and land protected areas.

It will build capacity in linking catchment and marine areas, provide social analysis that is highly valuable to management and communications strategies, and combine Indigenous with non-Indigenous knowledge systems to highlight differing cultural values and ways of protecting waterways.Read moreRead less
