	The Cranes
		Within Australia, Brolgas are found in both the wet-dry tropics of the north (Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland) and the southern temperate regions (eastern South Australia, Victoria, and portions of New South Wales) (Marchant and Higgins 1993).
		Although protected areas continue to be important for the species (especially in the Northern Territory), higher agricultural demand and changing husbandry techniques have led to an increase in disturbance and alteration of prime breeding habitat in Queensland, and a reduction in suitable foraging habitat.
		Australia and Papua New Guinea are signatories to the Ramsar Convention.

	Risk v The Northern Territory of Australia [HCA]
		The Northern Territory Acceptance Act 1910 (Cth) provided for the acceptance of the Northern Territory, as a Territory under the authority of the Commonwealth, and for the carrying out of the agreement that had been made between South Australia and the Commonwealth for the surrender of the Territory by the State to the Commonwealth.
		He determined that so much of the area claimed, as was adjacent to and seaward of the low water mark of the seacoast of the Northern Territory or of any island adjacent thereto, was not land that could be claimed under s 50 of the Land Rights Act.
		He considered that the legitimate interests of Aborigines would be protected if traditional fishing rights were preserved and their right to the privacy to the land clearly recognised by the establishment of a buffer zone of sea which could not legally be entered by commercial fishermen or holiday makers (par 423).

		Consistent with Australia's Oceans Policy, Environment Australia and the National Oceans Office are leading a process to identify and select candidate representative marine protected areas as part of the south-east regional marine planning process.
		The remoteness of most Commonwealth marine protected areas that have been declared means that management of the areas can be difficult requiring coordination with many organisations that have interests or infrastructure in these areas.

		Securing large and viable ‘no-take’ sea sanctuaries around Australia is a core part of the AMCS MPA campaign and should be the centre piece of any credible marine protected area system.
		Ningaloo Reef in North Western Australia was recently threatened by a major development proposal which saw AMCS lead a rally with thousands of Australians to stop it happening.
		Core to this commitment AMCS is campaigning to ensure that a national network of ‘no-take' sea sanctuaries are declared to protect areas of our precious oceans from overfishing and mining impacts.

	Govt accused of reneging on parks mining ban promise. 16/09/2005. ABC News Online

		The centre says the Government made the commitment in 2001 but that promise is not included in the draft management plan for the Territory's parks which was released this week.
		"Unfortunately conservation reserves are just a small part of the protected areas in the Northern Territory, it's really the national parks that need to be protected from mining if the biodiversity values of those parks are to be upheld," he said.
