Earthwatch Australia is funded by CCAF to deliver a first-of-its-kind marine pollution and wetland management program in the Lower Gulf of Carpentaria. Together with Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (CLCAC) and recycling experts Plastic Collective, Earthwatch will train 20 CLCAC Indigenous Land and Environment Rangers and 30 community volunteers to help deliver the Wetlands not Wastelands program over three years from 2020 onwards.

Driven by science and delivered by the local community, this program will trial a sustainable, community-based solution to managing and recycling marine pollution in remote regions. Once this model is proven, it could potentially be replicated in many other regional and remote locations in Australia and around the world.
