Come learn our way of life, the Indigenous way. We love sharing that with others. Lizzie Olbar and Marie Shipton, Dabu Jajikal Elders Our oceans are home to a great diversity of species and marine ecosystems, from the nearshore to the abyssal plains, and the vast open-ocean habitats between the surface and the sea floor. Our oceans provide ecosystem services that underpin our wellbeing, support valuable marine industries, and hold deep meaning for all Australians and especially the Traditional Owners of Sea Country.
