People living near the coast in Australia and the Pacific developed skills in seafaring, traversing the ocean, and plant identification. These coastal cultures often relied on the sea for food and resources, leading them to become skilled navigators and sailors. Additionally, knowledge of local plant life was important for survival and traditional medicine practices. Cartography, or map-making, may also have been a skill developed by some coastal groups to aid in navigation and trade.
