Description: 
Project A5 involved Indigenous rangers in hammerhead shark tagging expeditions. Rangers brought their knowledge of local country and fishing, and gained hands on experience in shark tagging. The tagging teams had t-shirts designed by talented Indigenous artist Safina Stewart who created a design specifically for the project.
