Up to $540M per year For Tasmanian’s salmon industry!
The future of sustainable salmon farming is onshore—where full lifecycle RAS can eliminate environmental damage, create thousands of jobs, and provide business stability like never before. But the real game-changer? WaveVolt—a revolutionary wave energy solution that can slash power costs, making this transition not just possible, but profitable.
A solution, Move Tasmania’s Salmon Industry to Land-Based Farming
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.
The cause of death of 1,149 tonnes of Tasmanian farmed salmon not reported. A critical examination:
Unveiling the Underwater Crisis at Macquarie Harbour
Discover how Macquarie Harbour, a vital aquatic ecosystem, mirrors an industrial wasteland underwater. Our latest findings reveal a shocking die-off of 1,149 tonnes of Tasmanian farmed salmon, a symptom of a much larger crisis.
What's Happening? Like a battery chicken shed but underwater, salmon pens at Macquarie Harbour are accumulating approximately 5,000 tonnes of waste annually with little tidal flow to cleanse the seabed. The result? Oxygen-depleted dead zones where marine life can barely survive.
Root Cause Analysis Current mitigation efforts, including air diffusers and nano-bubble technology, barely scratch the surface of the underlying issue—the unsustainable waste accumulation turning the harbour into an aquatic sewer.
