Tasmania’s marine ecosystems are under threat. Currently over 40,000 tons of biological waste from ocean-pen salmon farming are released into our oceans every year, devastating marine life, creating dead zones, and threatening the wild fish populations that depend on these waters. At the same time, the salmon industry is a cornerstone of Tasmania’s economy, supporting hundreds of jobs and contributing to regional communities. We believe it’s time for a solution that protects both the environment and the livelihoods of those who depend on salmon farming.
