About the Partners

A project of this nature cannot be done alone; it relies on the support and synergies with our many partners. Unfortunately we can only acknowledge the major partners in this context but it does not mean that we have forgotten the wonderful support from individuals and companies that have helped us in our journey to find an end to ghostnets both in the past and into the future. We thank you all.

The partners are organised into four categories which can be quick linked to via the drop down box.

Indigenous Ranger & Community Groups

'Community Rangers play a vital role in land and sea management. They are its linchpin and its inspiration. They are a group of highly committed and energetic individuals who have committed their life and soul to the Caring of their Country.' Richard Barclay, former Senior Ranger, Napranum Queensland.
