Gamay Botany Bay Rangers

The Gamay Rangers care for Country located on Gamay (Botany Bay) in Sydney, New South Wales.

They undertake natural and cultural resource management activities on cultural areas within Botany Bay, and on conservation land owned by the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Activities of the Gamay Rangers include patrolling the waters of Botany Bay, marine mammal awareness and protection work (in particular whales), cultural heritage protection and conservation, threatened species management, and cultural and environmental awareness for recreational vessel operators and visitors.

They undertake formal nationally accredited, and cultural training opportunties in land management, marine operations and connection to Country - to strengthen their professional and cultural capacity.

The Gamay Rangers work closely with environmental agencies, research institutions and corporations that operate in or around Botany Bay.
