Coastal and Marine Management Strategy

The Coastal and Marine Management Strategy 2019-2029 (the Strategy) ensures the health and viability of the Northern Territory coast and seas.

The Strategy will:

• support the use of coastal and marine areas by Territorians and visitors for recreational and cultural purposes
• manage the growing demand for natural resources
• foster sustainable industry for the benefit of the economy
• protect the environment
• improve our knowledge and understanding of the coast and seas.

A range of organisations were invited to form a partnership group to assist in developing the strategy, representing:

• Traditional Owners
• industry
• conservation
• recreation and
• natural resource management.

The public and stakeholders were invited to comment on a discussion paper to refine the strategy.
