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. 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.
