This was a Northern Territory-run offset program which commenced in July 2014 and was completed in June 2017.

The scope of the offset program was to deliver robust scientific data to support the assessment of the regional conservation status of all species of coastal dolphins. The project also strengthened evidence-based decision-making for evaluating future environmental impact assessments.

Project outcomes included:

  • Improved understanding of habitat use and distribution of coastal dolphin species.
  • Assessment of the regional conservation status of coastal dolphin species in the NT waters.
  • Improved data accessibility to relevant stakeholders.

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
