The first stage of the Marri-Jabin Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) was dedicated in 2010. It covers around 71,200 hectares around the Moyle and Little Moyle River area.
The Thamarrurr Land and Sea Rangers are based in Wadeye. They patrol an area of approximately 1.8 million hectares of country, which includes 200 kilometres of coastline and the IPA.
The rangers:
