The Saltwater Country Plan is the vision of elders from the Mayala, Dambimangari, Uunguu and Balanggara native title claim groups to achieve greater protection and better managemnt of the North Kimberley coastline.

The elders from the four tribal groups have been at the forefront of the Saltwater Country project, working to implement their vision for better management of their sea country.

At a Saltwater Country meeting in October 2008, the steering committee identified three management goals for the future.

These include: 

• Setting-up Sea Rangers to conduct coastal management activities;
• Developing a Visitor-Pass model for tourists; and
• Implementing Indigenous Protected Areas

The project is coordinated by the Kimberley Land Council and various partners.
