As part of the process of revising the Land and Sea Management Strategy for Torres Strait in 2015-16, Miya worked with Torres Strait Rangers, RNTBCs, technical staff and Terry Harper of TerraForm Design to develop Island Land and Sea Profiles for each of the 17 inhabited islands across the Torres Strait.
These were based on best available scientific and traditional ecological knowledge, existing local level plans and community consultation about environmental priorities.
They are highly visual planning support tools, designed to support Traditional Owners and communities to make informed decisions about the future of their islands and sea country, and to showcase their islands and land and sea management achievements to date.
