Tasmania has beautiful, unspoilt landscape and countryside. Tasmania also has delicious local produce, including farmed salmon.
On Sunday, there was a protest against additional fish farming on our East Coast. It was all very peaceful and friendly, a few speakers, music, media coverage.
There were people on the waterfront, some with placards, some with their dogs.
There were people on the water, also with banners and signs, also with dogs. Fishing trawlers, recreational fishing boats, pleasure boats, yachts, kayaks, jet skis, paddle boards, surfers.
Although this was a local protest on a small island at the bottom of the world, this one placard seems appropriate on a global level.
I hope the protest is successful …depressing to have over fishing around Tassie

I dived in Tassie while living in Australia and had a moment I’ll never forget – seeing my first Weedy Seadragon in the kelp forests off the coast of Eagle Hawk Neck. Let’s hope this amazing part of the world can be protected!
