NAILSMA is a movement that is driven by a developing network or
alliance of groups, organisations and communities who are involved
in practical Indigenous land and sea management on their country.
Through this alliance there is the opportunity to advocate for the
rights and interests of Indigenous land and sea managers across the
north of Australia.
One way in which NAILSMA advocates Indigenous rights and
interest is through its development of position papers that reflect
policy frameworks and strategies to implement those interests.
