Tassal has lodged an application with the Federal Government to collect and transport waste from the harbours fish pens for six months from November and dump it into the ocean at the harbours entrance. Environment Tasmania has hit out at the plan, saying it endangers a rare prehistoric fish living near an already damaged harbour. It is perplexing that Tassal has applied to return the waste it has captured from the damaged Macquarie Harbour straight back into the harbour, Environment Tasmanias Laura Kelly said. Tassal estimates 300,000 litres of waste would be dis Tassie fish farm proposes harbour waste dump charged once a week which Environment Tasmania says would threaten a population of some 77 maugean skate fish living within 10km of Tassals preferred discharge point on the islands west coast. They are a living fossil which date back to Gondwanan times and are found only in Tasmania, Ms Kelly said. In May, the company was ordered to clean up its act after an audit found two sites at Macquarie Harbour didnt comply with 19 environmental requirements. Tassal is in the process of submitting an Environmental Management Plan for the current proposal. Once again, Environment Tasmania is jumping the gun, a company spokesman said in a statement, adding it is committed to adopting the best environmental solution. Tassal is simply going through the correct approval processes and no decision has been made.
