The springs of the Great Artesian Basin support unique ecological communities found nowhere else on Earth. Gulf Savannah NRM is partnering with landholders and Traditional Owners to protect the function and cultural significance of multiple spring systems across the northern Gulf. We aim to safeguard intact ecological communities – many dominated by specialised plant species such as salt pipewort – and preserve biodiversity that depends entirely on these groundwater-fed habitats. Project lead: Oceane Dupont, Biodiversity Officer
