Thoughts on salmon aquaculture

Ever since I moved to Tasmania I was surprised by how controversial salmon aquaculture is and how vocal some people are about it. I actually work in this space haha, it's a great job and the people are super chill.

It seems that this industry is nearly as protested about as the fossil fuels or mining industry, and I see usually negative articles on salmon farming pass by on the news every week.

As a foreigner, I think that salmon aquaculture is such a weird thing to get so angry about, I don't see anyone protesting sheep or cattle farms? 😂

I can tell firsthand that the scientists and managers here are dedicated to sustainablity, but communication is an issue for sure. 😅

Curious to hear your thoughts on salmon farms in Tassie!
