Is this the end of the debate over salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour?

Tasmania has a long list of emotive, nation-shaping environmental debates. From the Franklin Dam dispute that ultimately set…

Think twice before you eat that salmon.
Did you know salmon naturally carries over 70 parasites? And if it’s farmed, it’s often exposed to chemicals, antibiotics, and pesticides that can end up in your body.
Wild salmon pick up parasites from their environment, especially in coastal waters near marine mammals. But farmed salmon face even more risks—raised in crowded pens, fed processed meals, and treated with chemicals to prevent disease.

Polluting industries like salmon farming must be properly regulated, not given a free pass. It’s outrageous that the government seems ready to risk the future of a unique Australian species for the sake of one industry. The hypocrisy is staggering. #environment #wildlifeconservation #salmonfarming #pollution #governmentaccountability #australia #MaugeanSkate

Protecting salmon farming over the environment – Australia’s nature laws take another hit. A bill introduced this week could strip the government’s power to reconsider environment approvals—even when salmon farming is causing harm.

Another step backwards for nature. #ProtectOurOceans #NatureLaws #Auspol #SalmonFarms #MaugeanSkate

Did you know? Tasmanian salmon farms generate 6 times more pollution annually than the entire sewage output of Tasmania!
This shocking comparison highlights just how impactful salmon farming can be on our environment. Let's rethink sustainable practices for a healthier planet!

Dead fish from a mass mortality event have been washing up on some Tasmanian beaches. The Premier has told parliament that salmon companies are officially on notice. #Tasmania #SalmonIndustry #EnvironmentalCrisis #JBSFoods #MaugeanSkate

Over 1,100 tonnes of farmed salmon in Tasmania’s Macquarie Harbour have died between September and March, with no reported cause. Now, the industry’s expansion, which began in 2012, is under review by the federal environment minister due to concerns for the endangered Maugean skate. A group of scientists has called on the minister to prioritise the skate’s survival and help the local community transition away from reliance on the salmon farming industry.

Hope for a rare fish annihilated by a popular product sold by #Coles and #Woolworths: A maugean skate has been bred in captivity for the first time. But the species' future is far from secure. The wild population of this endangered skate halved between 2014 and 2021, with only around 1,000 left. #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #MarineLife #WildlifeProtection #MaugeanSkate
