The idea for the saltwater barks was sparked in 1996 by the illegal intrusion of a barramundi fishing party at Garrangali, sacred home of Bäru the Ancestral Crocodile. The fishing party had not obtained permission to go to this special place and had further offended by leaving rubbish lying around. But the thing which upset Yol?u custodians most of all was the discovery of the severed head of a crocodile, left to rot in a hessian bag.1 1.https://livingknowledge.anu.edu.au/learningsites/seacountry/17_collection.htm
