Summary
NAILSMA has been engaged to run Phase One of the Traditional Owner-Led Water Quality Improvement Program, a first step in shaping how later funding will be deployed.
Phase One will set up two bodies — a Traditional Owner-Led Reef Water Quality Advisory Group and a Working Group — to guide Phase Two design, build capacity and widen participation.
Phase Two will offer grants for on-ground projects aimed at improving Great Barrier Reef water quality while strengthening Traditional Owner stewardship and delivering environmental, cultural and community benefits.
The $30 million program, announced last year, is being delivered with Traditional Owners and is intended to draw on traditional knowledge and lessons from the Reef Trust Partnership.
