RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Australia has one of the largest marine jurisdictions in the world. Attempts to develop an environmental management regime for this vast area were piecemeal until 1995, when it was announced an integrated oceans policy would be developed. Despite criticisms of process and content, the “Oceans Policy” released in December 1998 does provide a framework for resolving many maritime problems during the next decade.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
