Collaborative Governance of Marine Protected Areas Less developed than for terrestrial protected areas Less recognition of Indigenous rights to sea country Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Legislated Indigenous board member of GBRMP Authority board Traditional Use of Marine Resource Agreements (TUMRAs) Negotiated by Traditional Owners for their use of traditional resources Accredited and supported by GBRMP Authority Apply to sea country clan estates as determined by traditional owners Financial and other support for sea country planning, values and management Opportunities through 39Za arrangements

Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) on Indigenous-owned land from 1998 Voluntarily declared by Indigenous Traditional Owners For protection and sustainable Indigenous use of cultural and natural values Managed in accordance with IUCN protected area guidelines Recognised as part of Australia's National Reserve System (NRS) Funding and other support from Australian Government’s IPA Program and other government & non-government sources IMAGES TO BE INSERTED

IUCN Protected Area Governance Types 2008: “Indigenous peoples’ protected areas and territories – established and run by indigenous peoples” 2015? “Indigenous peoples’ conserved areas and territories – established and run by indigenous peoples”
