This study maps green turtle feeding areas in Australia’s Northern Territory by using satellite images and underwater videos. Working closely with Indigenous rangers, researchers identified key habitats, including seagrass and algae, which are vital for turtle survival. The findings support conservation planning and empower Indigenous communities to manage their Sea Country more effectively.

We compared two contrasting approaches to wetland conservation in the Murray River, south-eastern Australia, one based on improving environmental flows and the other based on building infrastructure to retain water on floodplains. We found that the former approach achieved much the same flow frequency, extent and duration, at much lower cost and is likely to prove a more flexible option.

Off Australia’s eastern coast, bull sharks are frequently caught in the Queensland Shark Control Program. This study analysed nearly three decades of data, showing patterns in catch rates, shark size and gear selectivity. Findings highlighted trends that may indicate population changes, influenced by factors such as fishing pressure and climate. Such insights aid in understanding long-term shark conservation needs.
