Statewide E-petition
Protect our waterways from industrial salmon farming
Add your voice to the growing tide - sign the statewide
e-petition to get industrial fish farms out of Tasmania’s precious coastal waters
Tasmanians are calling for a permanent stop to the expansion of industrial salmon farming in our waters. This e-petition urges the government to withdraw all fin fish farming leases to protect marine habitats, endangered species like the red handfish, and the health of our bays and beaches. It’s about safeguarding local lifestyles, tourism, jobs, and the long-term wellbeing of our waterways.
Open to Tasmanian residents.
Closes: 19 September 2025
Take a stand for our bays - write to your local politicians and council members to oppose the expansion of fish farms in Tasmania’s precious waters.
