In its latest attempt to hoodwink the community, Salmon Tasmania has released a report claiming that industrial salmon is nothing but an economic gain.
“The reality is that industrial salmon farming is destroying our public waterways and our unique environment, with not one sentence of the report accounting for the cost of the destruction of our unique and beautiful rivers bays and oceans,” said Alistair Allan, Marine campaigner at the Bob Brown Foundation.
“This is just more proof that all the industrial salmon industry cares about is short term profits at the expense of wild nature and Tasmania’s waters. It appears that the impending extinction of the Maugean Skate in Macquarie Harbour means nothing when compared to a few bucks for multinational companies.”
