Kimberley Sawfish Study Population monitoring since 2001, acoustic tracking since Acoustic array still operational Strong community involvement through sampling and tagging and tag reporting Over 400 sawfish tagged, movement and migration patterns Population monitoring since 2001, acoustic tracking since Acoustic array still operational Strong community involvement through sampling and tagging and tag reporting Over 400 sawfish tagged, movement and migration patterns

Onslow Sawfish Tagging Study Commenced in 2011 Commenced in sawfish (two species) tagged with acoustic transmitters? ->270,000 detections VR4-Global and VR2W acoustic receivers -Sawfish barriers Commenced in 2011 Commenced in sawfish (two species) tagged with acoustic transmitters? ->270,000 detections VR4-Global and VR2W acoustic receivers -Sawfish barriers
