This metadata is retained in the eAtlas to include any additional notes and description about the dataset. Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreements are community-based plans for management of traditional resources which are accredited in legislation and have proved a successful mechanism for joint management of the Reef. Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreements describe how Great Barrier Reef Traditional Owner groups work in partnership with the Australian and Queensland governments to manage traditional use activities on their Sea Country. Each Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreements has a committee to manage the agreement and traditional use of marine resources in their Sea Country, including traditional take, if any of important species such as dugongs and turtles. Their management of traditional use is based on both cultural lore and contemporary science and are also used for broader Sea Country planning and management.
