These zones determine specific management\nactivities and responses (including removals in certain circumstances) based\non the level of risk.\n\nImportantly, any estuarine crocodile that poses a threat to human safety will\ncontinue to be targeted for removal.\n\nThis service provides access to the following spatial datasets:\n\n * _Crocodile management zones_ (qpws_sis.qpws_crocodile_management_zones)\n\n", "summary": "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.
