‘Save a Sawfish’, created by Dan Hartney explains how sawfish should be released after being accidentally caught on a line or in a net. It uses an animated sawfish decorated with artwork from a painting commissioned from Indigenous artist Norman Wilfred, and explains safe handling, hook removal, removal from a throw net, and safe return to the water. There are three versions of the video: importantly, a version narrated by Grant Thompson in Kriol, a language of the Roper Gulf region, and two English versions narrated by Dan Hartney and Angelina Joshua. Angelina and Grant work for the Ngukurr Language Centre.
This is one of three videos made as part of a research project dedicated to raising awareness about threatened Largetooth Sawfish in Australia’s northern rivers. The project is led by Marine Biodiversity Hub scientist Dr Peter Kyne of Charles Darwin University Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods. Peter and his colleague Christy Davies of the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance Ltd work with the ranger groups on sawfish conservation and management initiatives.
