Understanding bio-cultural values of Moonjaniid jina baaliboor (Brue Reef) in the Kimberley Marine Park: Co-designing a project between Traditional Owners, the Australian Institute of Marine Science and Parks Australia

Government agencies and Traditional Owners share a responsibility to manage Australia’s Sea Country and marine assets according to both statutory law and customary Lore. In recognition of this shared responsibility, the linked report below summarises preliminary surveys of the fish fauna of Brue Reef, which in Mayala language is Moonjaniid jina baaliboor. These surveys were conducted with Traditional Owners, scientists, and marine park managers. The report also provides insights into cultural information shared during the voyage to Moonjaniid jina baaliboor on the vessels RV Solander and Karma IV on the 11-13th October 2022 in which 12 Mayala and Bardi Jawi Traditional Owners participated and includes a series of summary recommendations from a subsequent workshop at Ardyaloon on the 18th of April 2023.

政府机构与原住民传统所有者（Traditional Owners）肩负着依据成文法与传统习俗惯例，共同管理澳大利亚海洋领地（Sea Country）及海洋资产的共同责任。为彰显这一共担的责任，下述关联报告总结了布鲁礁（在马亚拉语中称为Moonjaniid jina baaliboor）的鱼类区系初步勘测结果。本次勘测由原住民传统所有者、科研人员与海洋公园管理者联合开展。报告同时收录了2022年10月11日至13日的航次中共享的文化相关信息，该航次由12名马亚拉族与巴迪贾维族原住民传统所有者搭乘索兰德号科考船（RV Solander）与卡尔玛四号（Karma IV）前往Moonjaniid jina baaliboor开展。此外，报告还纳入了2023年4月18日在阿尔亚隆（Ardyaloon）举办的后续研讨会所形成的一系列总结性建议。
