WCTTAA - A Success Story

The Western Cape Turtle Threat Abatement Alliance (WCTTAA) is a partnership of six western Cape York Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger groups from Apudthama Land Trust/Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council, Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council, Mapoon, Pormpuraaw, Aak Puul Ngantam Cape York and Kowanyama, supported by Cape York NRM. 

These groups work collaboratively to protect marine turtles and their nesting habitats from predation and other threats. The alliance focuses on managing coastal threats and improving the survival rates of threatened and endangered marine turtle populations along approximately 800km of western Cape York beaches.
 

As we celebrate 25 years of the IOSEA Marine Turtle MOU, we showcase some of the people, initiatives and communities that have contributed to marine turtle conservation across the region. Visit our Story Map to discover their stories.
