Banksia Award Category Winner 2007

2007-07-31

The Carpentaria Ghost Nets Programme is proud that for the second year in a row we have won the Banksia Awards. The Category is the new Indigenous one, Caring for Country, which recognises the important work that the rangers are doing on country.

Last year the Carpentaria Ghost Nets Programme was acknowledged, winning the Water Category Award, for its contribution in lessening the impact on marine turtles by ghost nets.

All the people associated with the Ghost Net project can be justifiably proud of the results of their hard work and one day we may see the Gulf free of these lethal floating environmental disasters.
