Hub research on Cape York Peninsula aims to support sustainable development in the region. Feral animals are another research priority and the Hub is working with Indigenous groups to determine effective management of feral animals and ways of measuring this. Other Hub research across northern Australia, on topics such as environmental monitoring and Indigenous knowledge brokering is also generating information to support development decisions in the Gulf. Other Hub research across northern Australia, on topics such as environmental monitoring, fire and carbon, and Indigenous land management is also generating information to support development decisions in the Gulf (read more here).
