Tasmania's salmon industry is one of our greatest success stories filled with passionate, hard-working people who are the driving force behind many of our regional jobs and our state's economy.
Tasmanians have been farming salmon in the state, and in particular on the West Coast, for around 40 years.
These jobs support workers, their families and the communities they live in.
The reduction or removal of salmon farming from Macquarie Harbour would have a massive impact on the West Coast community and the salmon industry right across Tasmania.
This impact would be felt by industry and their supporters and the many others who have passionately invested in a shared future, including suppliers, processors and transporters.
Tasmania's salmon industry can't be taken for granted.
The Rockliff Government must do everything it can to maintain salmon operations on the West Coast and support the great people living and working in this region.
