Vote Salmon Out!
These videos have been made by a group of concerned local community members who have come together to make their voices heard on the issue of salmon farming in Southern Tasmania. They are passionate about preserving our precious environment, and are fed up with the inaction of politically-appointed organisations which have been naively trusted to keep us and our wildlife safe from harm.

Postcards to the Federal Environment Minister
Neighbours of Fish Farming, in collaboration with filmmakers LowCo has released a series of "Postcards from the End of the World", the first of which calls for urgent Federal intervention to protect the Maugean skate, unique to Macquarie Harbour, from extinction. Each postcard begins with "Dear Tanya" and provides clear, fact-based evidence of the threat to Tasmania's marine life and waterways from the operations of multinational salmon companies in the state.
All the 'postcards' may be freely downloaded and circulated.
