Wundaagu, Saltwater Country Management - Research and Monitoring 
During our Fisheries trip in October, Uunguu Rangers Damon Bundamurra and Ildephonse Cheinmora worked alongside DPIRD research scientists to tag and monitor sharks. 🦈 We managed to catch and tag 3 bull sharks. The sharks were fitted with tags which will allow us to collect data on their movements and habitat usage. 
We also collected genetic samples and biological data from several species of sharks including bull, blacktip, spot-tail, milk and hammerhead sharks as well as the odd ray, which will feed into exisiting databases and will help us better understand and monitor the health of species on Wunambal Gaambera Wundaagu.

Great result. Environmental monitoring is a definite thing to do!!!

Cool pics guys

I’ll never forget the life you guys live in Kalumburu

Wundaagu (Saltwater)Country Management - Research and Monitoring 
Our Healthy Country team undertake ongoing monitoring and research to gather information needed to make management decisions and to determine if the country is healthy. 
Our monitoring and research program incorporates both traditional knowledge and western science.
Recently, our Uunguu Rangers Ildephonse Cheinmora and Damon Bundamurra worked with DPIRD research staff on a research survey onboard the Fisheries vessel, Naturaliste. Together, we deployed 175 BRUVs to repeat our long-term monitoring of fish. The weather and visibility was great and we saw many different marine species. 
We also collected samples of mangrove jack, barrumundi and tuna as part of our ongoing monitoring of species abundance.

Uunguu Life thanks for teaming up with us 💪

Kimberley Reef Connect on the Uunguu Wundaagu IPA 
We continue to increase the capacity of our people and our understanding of the Kimberley Marine Park as we  learn from the scientists, part of the Kimberley Reef Connect team. 
In these photos, Desmond Williams on lookout as @wamuseum divers survey the marine biodiversity of Wudaibiri, Troughton Island. 
Second photo: Uunguu Rangers Tabitha Kowan and Colleen Mangolamara sorting through rubble collected from a remote shoal near Rothery Reef. Tabby said, “the fragile brittlestars (Ophuroids) are my favourite find.”

Kimberley Reef Connect project on Wunambal Gaambera Wundaagu - sharing and learning traditional knowledge and western science. 
Uunguu Rangers Tabitha Evans and Colleen Mangolamara working with @curtinuniversity scientists to document marine biodiversity in the Uunguu Wundaagu IPA and Kimberley Marine Park. 
“We love searching for tiny seastars and shells amongst the rubble and sand that is collected by the divers underwater.” Uunguu Ranger, Tabitha Evans. 
“Finding tiny life requires sharp eyes, patience and a powerful microscope.” Zoe Richards, Associate Professor.

The horrid crab, Dadorfia horrida, belongs to a family known as the elbow crabs 🦀. Resembling a piece of coral 🪸 rubble covered in coralline algae, this crab is a master of camouflage. We found this species at Wianggarre, East Montalivet Island during our trip with the Kimberley Reef Connect. 
Thanks @zoer.coral for sharing the photo and updates from the boat.

WOW!! Very interesting.💥💥💥

Fantastic!

Cute juluwarru, green turtle hatchlings recorded off the back of our boat on Wunambal Gaambera Wundaagu, sea country, day 1 of our trip with the Kimberley Reef Connect partners.

You can understand why our ancestors travelled a long way to these outer islands - plenty of mangguru (marine turtles). They collected amiya (turtle eggs) and survived on amiya when they had no water.

In our waters, we have 6 different species of turtles and Juluwarru are the most common turtle found in the north Kimberley.

Today, we are concerned about threats to our mangguru and we are working with our partners to monitor and help protect them.
