Bill to protect Tasmanian #salmon farming passes House despite fears of ‘alarming’ environmental protections rollback

The Albanese government’s new bill to protect Tasmanian salmon farming has passed the lower house, despite experts warning it could stop communities challenging other decisions, including coal and gas developments, and may not even be effective in its principal aim.

Oh what big claws you have!”

Coastal brown bears are such an amazing animal to see in the wild. These large omnivores spend most of their summers feeding on grasses, sedges and different berries that grow throughout Alaska. But once July comes around, millions of salmon flood into river systems of coastal Alaska, and these bears go on a fish eating extravaganza.
Observing different fishing habits of these bears shows immense individuality of each animal. Some go for a smash and grab, others patiently wait for salmon to swim underneath them and quickly go in for the grab, while others splash around in utter overwhelming confusion, sending hundreds of salmon swimming for their lives.

Coastal brown bears and grizzly bears are the same species, but brown bears are defined by having access to salmon runs. While grizzly tend to live more inland where food is more scattered and they are forced to travel further and be more protective of their food sources.

This bear fished in a river systems in Katmai National Park, I watched him for over 2 hours patiently wading through the meandering water, and every so often standing up to get a better look at where the hordes of salmon were swimming.

#Salmon from #SalmonFarming was one of my staples. I used to spring for the more expensive Superior Gold smoked salmon, and I'd eat a couple of slivers most days. Then #Tassal smeared their branding all over it, perhaps hoping it would elevate Tassal.

Nope, just destroyed what had looked like an independent higher quality product.

So now, like a lot of people, I dont eat #Tasmanian Salmon.

Trying to find a smoked salmon that is ethically produced, and heavily smoked so its not gelatinous.

Please consider signing this petition to end salmon farming in Tasmania and protect our environment.

The Australia Institute has recently obtained documents, which the public service has been found to have illegally refused to release,which reveal that Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has known for almost 18 months that salmon farming should be comprehensively assessed under national environmental law for its impact on the endangered Maugean skate and Macquarie Harbour’s World Heritage value.

In a bid to pander to the powerful aquaculture lobby, the Prime Minister has pledged $37 million in public funding to support the toxic salmon industry and promised to introduce legislation that will allow them to bypass Australia’s environmental protection laws and continue destroying World Heritage – both the skate and the Harbour are recognised for their World Heritage value.

Gabriel thanked the Youth for starting the ceremony off “in a right way,” and said it warms his heart that they are witnessing the ground break for the site of the future fish passage.

“You will see the salmon return to our lakes, as they did well before the 1900s — salmon that we lived with for thousands of years,” he said.
