The Western Australian Marine Science Institution welcomes the announcement of the WA State Government’s Kimberley Science and Conservation Strategy, see: www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/management/kimberley-strategy

In 2008 WAMSI released the report: a turning of the tide: science for decisions in the Kimberley-Browse marine region to help highlight the need for a coordinated and integrated approach to establishing the necessary marine and coastal scientific baselines in the Kimberley Browse region. The Kimberley Science and Conservation Strategy will go a long way to meeting this need.

WAMSI is looking forward to leading the Marine and Coastal Science components as outlined in the Strategy.
