Land and Sea Mapping Tool

CLCAC rangers know why they work in this part of the world — it is to protect traditional lands and culture. But not many people realise the Southern Gulf of Carpentaria is one of the most special places ecologically on the planet. The CLCAC Land and Sea Mapping Tool provides a visual depiction of the diverse landscapes and ecosystems that the rangers manage across the Southern Gulf.

Use this interactive mapping tool to explore the diversity of the region by selecting the different GIS layers available. You are invited to discover the ecological significance of the lower Gulf by drawing together different sets of information and presenting them on one map.

Discover important information about the CLCAC region:
