About the Agreement Among the first of its kind in Western Australia, this is one of three Marine Parks co-designed and co-managed with Traditional Owners (ABC News, 2022). Together, the Bardi Jawi, Mayala, and Maiyalam Marine Parks cover more than 600,00 hectares of the Buccaneer Archipelago (Government of Western Australia; Kimberley Land Council). At the Marine Park opening in Ardyaloon in July, KLC CEO, Tyronne Garstone said 'This is a historic moment for the Bardi and Jawi, Mayala and Dambimangari people who have fought hard to secure native title recognition and continue to fight for protection of their land and sea country'. Consultation and planning began in 2017, and the borders of the three marine parks will take effect on July 1, 2023 (Government of Western Australia; ABC News, 2022). 'The way in which these marine parks have been do-designed means important cultural areas, heritage and marine life will be protected in a way that enables both sustainable and customary recreational and commercial use' said KLC CEO, Tyronne Garstone (Kimberley Land Council). 'For the first time in the State's history Indigenous knowledge has been central to the design of a marine park. These parks are at the forefront of sea country management; combining traditional ancient wisdom with modern environmental management' (Kimberley Land Council). Indigenous ranger groups are central to the protection and management of this sea country and have demonstrated increasing capacity within traditional governance and knowledge structures whilst collaborating with other non-Indigenous organisations and stakeholders (Kimberley Land Council). KLC Land and Sea Management Unit Manager, Daniel Oades, remarked that in the years ahead, the KLC will continue to support Indigenous ranger groups and the Government towards developing 'best practice Joint Management' of sea country (Kimberley Land Council). Mayala Innainlang Aboriginal Corporation chair Rowena Mouda said that the cultural health of the coastline is imperative to the health of traditional owners, and 'with this process, there have been families that have returned to country for the first time ... and we've seen a healing take place' (ABC News, 2022).
