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

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.
