3 Kimberley Sawfish Study Population monitoring since 2001, acoustic tracking since 2007....... Acoustic array still operational Strong community involvement through sampling and tagging and tag reporting Over 400 sawfish tagged, movement and migration patterns Population monitoring since 2001, acoustic tracking since 2007.......
