In Queensland, estuarine crocodiles are found throughout the Gulf of Carpentaria, Cape York Peninsula, Torres Strait, and along the east coast down to Rockhampton, which marks the southernmost population. Crocodiles are rarely present south of the Fitzroy River, and those that occur are considered vagrants.
Estuarine crocodiles are a protected species under both a state and national level. They are an important part of Queensland's ecosystems but can pose significant dangers to humans.
The Queensland Government is committed to managing crocodiles to reduce public safety risks. |

| description:

The Queensland Crocodile Management Plan (QCMP) provides the framework for how
estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles are managed according to the level of risk
they pose.
The QCMP strikes the appropriate balance between managing the public safety
risks that estuarine crocodiles may pose to humans and the conservation of the
species.
The QCMP uses an overarching 'response-based management approach', which
involves taking appropriate action based on the crocodile management zone
where the animal has been identified.
The QCMP has 4 different zones. These zones determine specific management
activities and responses (including removals in certain circumstances) based
on the level of risk.
Importantly, any estuarine crocodile that poses a threat to human safety will
continue to be targeted for removal.
