Kimberley Islands Biological Survey

A biological survey of 22 of the islands was conducted between December 2006 and December 2010[2] by the Department of Environment and Conservation, traditional owners, the Australian Museum and the Western Australian Museum.[3][4]

The partnership with the Kimberley Land Council is important as the islands sampled in this survey are covered by five native title claim groups: Balanggarra, Uunguu, Dambimangari, Mayala and Bardi Jawi. Traditional Owners have strong management rights to the islands through native title and Aboriginal Reserve tenure.[5]
