The Tyndalls Under Threat - Wild The serenity and ecology of Tasmania’s Tyndall Ranges on the island’s west coast have been threatened by a proposed $40million development for a walking track.

There’s no question the @TasLiberal govt have no regard for nature. This article articulates perfectly how disconnected their decision making is from the Tasmanian landscape and the forces that have formed it. #politas #votenature

Can you point me to any documentation showing the effects on land-based wildlife please?

‘Like an underwater bushfire’: SA’s marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path The algal bloom in SA is a warning to coastal communities, as well as tourism, seafood and aquaculture industries. It’s a sign of what’s to come as the oceans warm.

“Like an underwater bushfire” - looking at the tragedy in SA waters today is like viewing Tasmania’s future. Ignoring the warning signs in our marine environment will come at our own peril #politas #auspol #climatecrisis

How can you promote your salmon as coming from pristine water when you took a dump in it.
Dirty fuckers.

Labor is just creeping ahead in polls. But dead farmed salmon is washing up on beaches in Labor’s Franklin electorate + in Braddon there are growing protests against proposals for Bass Straight salmon farms. Why would you explode the EPBC Act, + poke the Tassie envirobeast for 20 jobs in Strahan?🤷🏻‍♀️

Following a massive die-off, two major #salmon companies operating 14 fish farms in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in southern Tasmania have been ordered to prevent its pollution by dead fish.

Destroying the environment and sending species extinct is one thing, but now I can’t take my dogs to the beach!? | First Dog on the Moon The toxic Tasmanian salmon industry has gone too far this time

An ancient (recumbent) Huon pine that eats floods for breakfast. Fire is its biggest threat. SW Tasmanian wilderness.

Jurassic-era trees have grown in Tasmania for millions of years. Now they face their biggest threat: fire Pencil pines grow for more than a thousand years each, and only in Tasmania. As lightning fires become more common, humans must mobilise to protect them – or lose these ancients forever

Global treasures are disappearing in our lifetime -

Beautiful beach day in the Huon destroyed by thousands of fish fat globules on all my local beaches. They plaster your feet as you walk and your body as you swim. Disgusting legacy of the #Tasmanian #salmon industries greed and cruelty #politas

Dreamscape.

No matter how many times I visit, no matter how many times my spirit gets humbled by this beauty - my jaw still hits the floor and I thank my lucky stars the deep southwest wilderness of Lutruwita / Tasmania is protected land.

Long may it remain so.

Albanese sparks anger with pledge over controversial salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour Prime minister tells Salmon Tasmania of promise to change legislation and allow ‘sustainable’ farming to continue

The subtext:
'Anthony Albanese has promised to introduce environmentally destructive legislation in an effort to allow sustainable vote farming to continue in Tasmania' #MaugeanSkate #auspol

Sadly some misinformation about Huon pines in this piece. It is believed many very, very old trees have gone. The journo has quoted PWS from a few days ago.

Build the infrastructure. Offer a company a monopoly then a sweet deal to ensure they pay a peppercorn lease over prime ‘protected’ land. #politas grifters.
