We are thrilled to host a big Sea Country Forum over two days in Cairns from 11-12 March 2025.

This event will bring together Traditional Owners of the Reef to discuss:
• Options for setting up a Sea Country Alliance
• Sustainable financing to support sea country initiatives and enterprises
• How the 71 actions in the Plan should be prioritised
• How communities would like their voices heard over the next 12 months

Four representatives (two adults, two young leaders) are invited from each clan group
in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area – ideally, with a gender balance. Travel expenses will be covered.

This is about creating a collective voice and shaping a way of driving real change for our mob, together.
No governments or outside organisations with their own agendas will be there – it’s just for Traditional Owners.
