The Gurang Gurang and Goreng Goreng languages are closely related but not the same. Both languages belong to the Waka-Kabic subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan languages.
The names are often used interchangeably, and there is some overlap in the regions where they are spoken, primarily in Central Queensland.

VIDEO - Working with Traditional Owners for Sea Country Management across GBRMPA
Jason discusses tools to provide genuine pathways for Traditional Owner groups to engage in effective co-management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Parks, both Commonwealth and State, and the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
This includes Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreements (TUMRAs) as one tool that describes how Traditional Owners work in partnership with the Australian and Queensland governments to manage traditional use activities on their Sea Country.
Jason’s key message is that maintaining effective and meaningful partnerships with Traditional Owners is essential in protecting cultural and heritage values, conserving biodiversity and enhancing the resilience of the Great Barrier Reef into the future.

Teaching Resource Guide
This teaching resource guide has been designed around an inquiry-based model to assist with incorporating the 2024 Eco-challenge within the classroom. Students learn key STEAM and life skills through inquiry-based learning, and we hope this resource compliments your teaching. We have provided subject specific Australian curriculum codes (ACARA 9.0) and have provided ways to adapt this to international curriculum outcomes at the end of this document. We have also aligned this eco-challenge to 9 of the UN global sustainable development goals.
Water Quality Investigation
During this unit, students will cover: The water cycle of coastal aquatic environments, A/biotic data collection comparing three aquatic environments, discussion of how water quality is influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors, identification of a/biotic influences on environmental conditions and impacts to the three environments.
Snorkeling Pool Skills Assessment
Use this snorkeling skills assessment to assess the competency of students prior to conducting aquatic practices.
Future Leaders: Eco Project
