Crocodile capture zones and captures, Northern Territory

live
Publisher Department of Lands, Planning and EnvironmentLicence CC BY 4.0Tables 2Latest 2026-10-04Covers since 2002

The Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory removes crocodiles from waters near towns inside defined capture zones. This collection holds the record of every crocodile captured, from the Croc Capture Database, and the boundaries of the nine capture zones. The publisher does not release the location of its traps, so a capture is placed only by its zone, group and location name.

Department of Lands, Planning and Environment releases these 2 tables as one dataset on its portal, so every table here shares the version date 2026-10-04. Each table has its own page with a format picker, a field list, a sample record and its version history.

Also called: Croc Capture Database, Crocodile removal records Northern Territory, Crocodile removal zones NT, Darwin Harbour crocodile captures, Darwin crocodile management zone map, NT Crocodile Capture Zones, NT Crocodile Capture Zones and Daily Count.
