Exmouth Gulf Taskforce Final Report released – ‘whole-of-gulf’ marine park recommendation adopted
Posted: September 5th, 2025
It has been another wonderful day of celebration for Nganhurra Thanardi Garrbu Aboriginal Corporation (NTGAC) – representing the culmination of several years’ work to better protect and manage Exmouth Gulf and its surrounds.
Recognising the internationally significant values of the area, the State Government has announced it will create a ‘whole-of-gulf’ marine park, which is to be jointly vested with and managed by NTGAC. This announcement was in response to the Exmouth Gulf Taskforce’s Final Report, which was released by the State Government today.
YMAC is extremely proud to have assisted NTGAC throughout the taskforce process and congratulates all who were involved in achieving this incredibly important outcome.
