Looks pristine down there. The coastline also looks great.
thank you so much for your amazing videos I watched you on alone and you were very inspiring thank you🙏
No no, Thank You, for watching! 😃🙏
White beach is beautiful! Nice vid as always man, I need to check out the island with you sometime!
Here's my take on the salmon farms.
Salmon farms definitely have an impact on the local environment, and measurements of salmon farms on Tassie's west coast have shown that it had worsened naturally caused deoxygenation in Macquarie Harbour. However, after implenting changes that scientists (the same ones who took the measurements) suggested, they have greatly improved their footprint.
It is a reasonably new industry, so there will be work that needs doing to keep improving. It has so much potential! Salmon feed is being improved to be really sustainable, and its keeping fish from being taken out of wild catch.
I don't know about its feasability but more permaculture surrounding the farms (such as harvestable giant kelp forests, mussels and sea cucumbers to clean the water) would be great.
If you were to compare the effects of salmon farming vs livestock, I think you'd be suprised. The whole north coast of Tassie can get layers of silt and particulates over it and no one bats an eye. The north coast is naturally susceptible to silt, but with agriculture it has gotten way worse.
Like you said, we need to be good custodians of our environment and also keep jobs and feed mouths. Salmon farming needs improving but not cancelling- it's way too great of a solution to feed the world in a way that doesn't compromise our environment. Coming from a Greenie.
Thanks heaps for the input mate. This dive is just one location and just my experience at Apex. Like a lot of Industry's, if they aren't heavily regulated, than that's where things get out of hand. 🙏It would be a perfect world if we could survive without doing any damage to the environment, unfortunately this life we live needs money.
Good balanced comment.
'Farmed Norwegian Salmon World's Most Toxic Food' is a bit of an eye-opener doco.
Pasta your camera work editing music is amazing.
Your Zest for Life and the positive encouragement you share through this forum makes you a very Rich Man.
Yeah the Best way to Do It!
Helping Others& Changing peoples lives for the better.
Cheers mate. It’s been a great hobby to start with that’s turned into a great lifestyle 🙌
Another cracking vid, cheers legend
Thanks heaps💪 Tassie made it so much better with the weather.
Another fabulous video Chris. Nana and I watched it on the big screen. Glad there weren’t any sharks 🦈
🤣 yeah there’s not many sharks there or anywhere else. 🙌
Hi,found you randomly,Im the guy you gave a cray to on bike at Tarrana,Vallentines Day.Thankyou Yummo.Great Vid.
Hey Ron, yeah I remember that. Glad it was enjoyable aye mate. Take care cobba and see ya around again💪
Great video mate
Thanks Dave
I work on a salmon farm.
We care as much about the environment as everyone else. We live and breathe the ocean.
Mind you, and this is my own personal opinion. I don't mind the scrutiny around our industry.
I would like more balanced media coverage, though.
If there was no scrutiny it would be a shambles 🤣 but, that’s why we have it aye 💪
Bloody awsome vid lol be the slow montage stuff. Them salmon farms only thing I can say why not do on land it give a chance to filter it also using it as fertiliser been saying it for years
Mate, One of the main reason that they don’t farm salmon on land is one pen of fish would be equivalent to one football field, with over 200 pens in the state of various sizes that’s a lot of land that would be needed. Another reason is the amount of saltwater needed for this amount of fish would destroy the land for ever going forward. No good for cattle, crops etc etc.
Was you on Australian Alone mate
Sure was. Hope you enjoyed the show 🙏
Great video again we have a shack at white beach gods country (not that I believe lol )
It’s amazing there aye! Yeah bakes has mentioned the shak. I’ll have to come say hi!
Great video mate....Cant believe the police would be patrolling the waters in a luxury cruiser....wonder who pays for that....the recreational fisher...
I think they came from Hobart and made their way up to coles bay. It’s good to know there’s a fast, epic vessel on the water that can get to ya quickly if needed 💪
It was (and is) built as an all-weather, long distance work boat, not a luxury cruiser.
White shark Highway down there. Have seen several personally.
Ah Jesus really?! 😜🤣 I was kinda only joking about it all.
So cool to see how healthy our ocean is under the salmon ponds.
Most people's idea of the ocean floor came from a fictional book written by someone who's never set foot on a farm
I don't recon they dived under the pens.
Haha good on ya mate
💪💪💪
Ripper episode!
Cheers legend! Gotta get up there with you and nail some stripeys!
@@tassieadventureman keep an eye on the weather! We’ll get it done and load up on crayfish too.
Dude I just seen ep 1 of alone I was like fuck the only Tassie boy on here...my apologies I owe you a beer I was unsubbed for some fkn wierd arse reason after like 1yr or two....I was like I know that face I've seen him before lol 🤣🤣🤣 damn I hop your well we are still yet to catch up for a colab video....best of luck hopefully. Ttys mate take care best of luck 👍💪 your channel has grown so much not like mine slow lol hats off 2k subbs
check out patagonia's latest film on farming
Definitely on the fence with that one to bro
Yeah I just don’t know all the details to make a solid statement about it all. I leave that up to the professionals that aren’t emotionally invested as much. 🙌
If everyone sits on the fence and isn't brave enough to stand up to protect our environment then I hope you will take responsibilty when it is irritrievably damaged!
The jobs are great, the red algae blooms that now happen there over summer is something I never saw before the first pen expansion.
The real damage to fish stock/life was done by the Chinese trawlers the government let in there in the late 90’s although the summer blooms probably aren’t helping the situation.
Not much sediment sits under the farms....
If you were to drop a handful of chicken pellets in 30+ metres of water. The tide/currents and swells wouldnt allow them to sink straight to the bottom...
Open weather areas that are exposed to the forces of the sea are relatively clean.
Sandy beaches stay clean as there isnt any place for the sediment to catch.
Find sheltered bays and places adjacent to salmon farms, creeks and rivers and youll find thick sediments, algaes, and oxygenless smothered dead zones...
Yeah this is of course just a view of what it’s like in this area. 🙏
This is especially true at the North End of bruny Island - Barnes Bay, Apollo Bay, these areas are dead, so much algae, it its killing of anything in these areas for rec fishing.
Zero bycatch and great for the economy, sure nothing's perfect these days but the government pretty strict from growing to table.
Yeah I understand that we do need to have employment and trade seafood along with looking after our oceans. 👍👍🤿🤿
Having the salmon swimming constantly through their own shit and eating un natural foods means that they may still taste ok but the quality is terrible and not healthy. I’ve stopped using buying and never will again
I see it a bit differently, although I respect your views. Your not alone 💪
Why is it political? To want to keep our beautiful island home pristine? Wild and free from destrustion. Why does politics have to come into it. Shouldnt all people regardless of politically views love their home, love their beaches and nature. There is not enough jobs in toxic fish farms to warrant the destruction of our coastline and waterways. Once gone there is no getting it back.. The 10 year fish farm plan on the north of Tassie is terrible, these farms will not stop until they circle Tassie
I guess the use of the word political is due to there being conflicting opinions on the subject.
It would be amazing if we could protect every inch of the ocean and land. Take it back to the primitive days I say, where there’s nothing but a small tribe just working together to eat and live. 😃
That’s of course a bit of a dream in this life we live. 🙏
Can I suggest you get a job on one of those farms and see what actually goes on. You may be surprised.
Earn some good coin and get a bunch of qualifications supplied for you at their expense that you can take with you.
At the end of how ever long you want to dedicate to learning while earning, you can tell the world what it's like with actual facts.
Don't tell them why you want a job there. Not everyone needs to know everything.
Exactly and not to supply starving Tasmanians once they cant afford to put food on their tables anymore, but to supply the rest of the world so a handful of people can have a job...
Did the sea floor around the pens look destroyed, toxic or dead to you? Go for a dive around the zinc works or Hobart's warf, see how many crays or fish you see there and then tell us which industry is the worst.
99% of people that work on the farms enjoy love and utilise the ocean recreationally as much if not more than anyone else in the state complaining about it. If what they all did day in day out was killing it, or if they weren't constantly improving what they did and how they do it..they wouldn't stand for it either I promise you.
@@richardbrown9344What? We pay more her for Tassal salmon than any other state? The very few workers they employ, get good $$$, but once it goes to shite, guess who’ll whine the most.
You marked a point on an aerial photograph on another post your dive spot which is adjacent to the Billy Blue salmon lease. The one pen that is never stocked with fish. It is used when a liner is put in to store fresh water, to be pumped onboard Aqua Spa. So filming there is about as relevant as Pauline Hanson putting on a mask and Snorkel, putting her head under the water and reporting that the Great Barrier Reef looks fine ! Both are naive and simplistic and pathetic.
Strong words mate. Hopefully today was a happier day for you🙏🙏
So billy blue sits between 2 leases, about 300m from one and not even a km from the other and the sea floor is healthy. It doesn't get much closer than that for something that is supposedly destroying entire lengths of coastline. Seems like a pretty naive and pathetic comment to make to me.
