SALTWATER DETECTIVES

Thanks Margee, for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of the filming of Moore reef- reef restoration Saltwater detective.

What I have witnessed on Moore reef, the work that Dr Eric, Fred, and the team are doing made me realise how work on Sea country is just as important as the work that is done on country (land).

As an Aunty/Mum I am also blessed to be able to give cultural guidance and embed my cultural knowledge to Fred, who is just growing and developing personally and professionally in the work he has been doing in the past couple of years.

Sincerely thanks for this opportunity.
