Caring for Sea Country — with Brooke Owens from the TUMRA Program

Caring for Sea Country — with Brooke Owens from the TUMRA Program In this episode of Stars and Stories, MJ speaks with Brooke Owens, TUMRA Program Manager at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, about the important work happening across Queensland to protect Sea Country. The Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreements (TUMRA) Program supports community-led partnerships that honour cultural knowledge, build local leadership, and help manage threats to the Reef — including illegal fishing, poor water quality, and coastal development. Over the past 20 years, the TUMRA Program continues to evolve, providing training, jobs, and capacity-building for Traditional Owners to care for the Reef on their terms.
