Save the Skate - Hobart

Experts are saying the Maugean Skate is one extreme weather event away from extinction.

With the current El Niño predicted to be the worst in recorded history - this extreme weather event is already here.

The fate of the Skate is balancing on a knife's edge.

Macquarie Harbour is its last home on Earth, but industrial scale fish farming is pushing this ancient species to extinction.

So, what can we do about it? How are we going to save the Skate?

Join Senator Vanessa Bleyer and an expert panel at Fern Tree Tavern for politics in the pub and we will tell you how we can unite to give the Maugean Skate a fighting chance!

Our amazing panellists are:

• Alistair Allan - Antarctic and Marine Campaigner at Bob Brown Foundation.

• Jess Coughlan - Senior Skate Campaigner at Environment Tasmania.

• Eloise Carr - Consultant and Policy Adviser at the Wilderness Society.

• Senator Vanessa Bleyer - Greens Senator for Lutruwita/Tasmania.

So, come along, share a drink and a meal, and let's organise to Save the Skate!
