The key purpose of the Conference is to develop strategies to enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander input into matters relating to the protection and exploitation of sea country.
Australia currently has national peak bodies representing seafood industry, recreational fishers and environmental interests in sea country, but there is nothing in place for First Nations.
Through this conference, we will explore the potential for the establishment of a First Nations peak body representing interests in Sea Country-related matters which would benefit all Governments undertaking consultations.
We invite First Nations and advocates, leaders in program design, Government, industry policy officers, resource managers and decision makers to join us on an immersive two-day journey where the past, present and future of our precious Sea Country is at the forefront.
The program has been designed tobe as collaborative and interactive as possible with an emphasis on knowledge sharing.
The Conference gives space for and respect to the stories of our past and present. We aim to share our collective wisdom and move forward positively when it comes to the management of our precious Sea Country.
The Conference aims to amplify First Nations voices and provide a platform for meaningful dialogue.
The Conference aims to identify opportunities and inconsistencies between Native Title Rights and State/Territory and Commonwealth recognition with a view to seek consistency.
