In 2009 the RBWG launched Interim Management Guidelines for Roebuck Bay to a crowd of over 100 people. The eight principles in the Guidelines will help the community to manage this extraordinary Bay that laps at Broome’s shores.
It was not all good news, with an oil spill off the coast of Broome in 2009 raising concerns about the increase in shipping trade through the Broome Port due to increasing onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration, fuel imports, cruise vessel tourism, and continued trade in live cattle exports, pearling and commercial fishing.
