Saltwater crocodile monitoring
Through the Management Program for the Saltwater Crocodile, the harvesting of crocodile eggs and live crocodiles are closely monitored.
This is to ensure it does have a negative impact on their overall population.
If a clear trend of population decline is detected across multiple years, harvest quotas may be assessed and modified.

How are they monitored
For decades, standardised spotlight surveys of selected river systems within the Northern Territory have been used.
These rivers include those where crocodile and egg harvesting occurs.
