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）肩负共同责任，需依据成文法与传统习惯准则，管理澳大利亚的海洋领地（Sea Country）及各类海洋资产。为认可这一共同责任，下文附随的报告总结了布鲁礁（Brue Reef）鱼类区系的初步勘测结果——该区域在马亚拉语中称为Moonjaniid jina baaliboor。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。报告还收录了2022年10月11日至13日期间，搭乘索兰德号科考船（RV Solander）与卡尔玛四号（Karma IV）前往Moonjaniid jina baaliboor的航程中所分享的文化信息；本次航程共有12名马亚拉与巴迪贾维（Bardi Jawi）原住民传统所有者参与，同时纳入了2023年4月18日于阿德亚隆（Ardyaloon）举办的后续工作坊所提出的一系列总结性建议。
