The following images have been taken by ranger and community groups to show the work they are doing on their country as part of the Carpentaria Ghost Nets Programme. We hope that these images help you to imagine how much work and effort is involved in cleaning these beaches, and just how big these ghost nets really are!

When you click the VIEW button below the photo, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the photo. To view the images we ask you to abide by an agreement developed by ranger and community groups.

Some of the images on this website are significant to indigenous people and it is important that they are not used for purposes other than that for which they are intended. Please respect the wishes of our Indigenous participants on the viewing and use of the images on this website.
