Miya worked with the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA), project partners and communities in 2009 to support the Saltwater People Network.
The Saltwater People Network connects Indigenous Traditional Owners from the Kimberley, Top End of the Northern Territory, southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Cape York and the Torres Strait. It helps them join forces and develop community-driven approaches to continue their long tradition of managing the fragile marine ecosystems across north Australia. The Network brings together Indigenous people and non-Indigenous partners from across north Australia to share tools, knowledge and skills, and to promote Indigenous aspirations for sea country management.
