NESP Marine and Coastal Hub (2025). Mapping Sea Country and exploring conservation and restoration opportunities on the Kakadu NP and Garig Gunak Barlu NP coasts. Project 5.1 Information sheet. Reef and Rainforest Research Centre, Cairns, Queensland.
Overview
There is an urgent need for up-to-date biodiversity and habitat data on the coastal regions of Kakadu National Park and Garig Gunak Barlu National Park on the
Cobourg Peninsula. These areas face major challenges in planning and management due to limited data availability, combined with a rapidly changing climate. Without this information, protecting and restoring these culturally important areas is difficult, especially as they face threats like rising sea levels and damage from feral animals.
